Fallen at the edge of the sea is the almost forgotten St Eden grand menhir. 

About 8 metres in length, weathering from the thousands of years it was standing can be seen as the rain channel down its side.

The second monolith on the right of the photo has 4 caracteristic holes that carriers make when they want to break a stone.

Ahh... that might explain a series of similar holes in a piece of granite above the door of St Winwalloe's church at Gunwalloe in Cornwall.
