Carfury Standing Stone is a standing stone in Penwith, Cornwall, about 4km northwest of Penzance [1]. Also called Cuckoo Rock, the stone stands around 3m tall and is 0.7m wide by 0.4m thick [1]. The site was excavated between 31 December 1957 and 3 January 1958 by Peter Pool and Vivien Russell, who discovered the stone had been erected in an elliptical pit and wedged in place using small stones [2]. Little else was found but Russell did note a pot [2].
