St Breock Beacon stone chest
The stone box of St Breock Beacon (also St Breock Beacon Kistvaen) was recently rediscovered in a bush region about 70 m southwest of the monolith of St Breock Downs (corn: Men Gurta). The stone box was first mentioned in 1872 by William Copeland Borlase (1848–1899) in his work Naenia Cornubiae.
The stone box essentially consists of only two large stone slabs, one of which is supported on the other. It is located near the summit of St Breock Downs south of Wadebridge in Cornwall , England .
