The megalithic stone is located in the garden of Tolvan Cross Cottage, near the village of Gweek in Cornwall, England.

[3] The standing stone is located about 800 m north of the village of Gweek in Cornwall, England, behind the farmhouse at Tolvan Cross.

It has been suggested that the large standing stones were part of megalithic structures, used as entrance passages to the burial chambers of portal dolmens.

At the stone's original location, a stone-lined circular pit, 1.5 m diameter, and covered with a large slab was discovered before 1864.

Historians at the time determined that the pit was a grave, and the holed stone was part of an ancient dolmen.
