The Pipers, St Buryan, Cornwall, England
The Pipers, St Buryan, Cornwall, England 1993. One of two large menhirs still standing in Cornwall measuring 4.5 metres (13 ft) and 5 metres (15 ft) in height. The larger of the two stones is reportedly sunk 1.6 metres (5 ft) into the ground. We know this because the base of both stones were excavated by William Copeland Borlase in 1871 although nothing was found.
