David Shepherd writes: A little while ago I was in contact with Tony Blackman regarding propped stones we had noted in Cornwall, the South Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales (Blackman 2011, Shepherd 2013), sadly our projected collaborative paper never happened because of Tonys untimely passing. A recent visit was a belated attempt to follow on from our discussions, and these notes are, in a sense, an outsiders view of Cornish propped stones. My time was limited and each site was visited once. I was only able to gather sparse details before my trip, but I did succeed in locating at least ten features without getting into the possible/probable/definite debate. The following seem to be well-known already, although not formally recorded, and I have supplied GPS-derived grid references, photos and inevitably incomplete commentaries.
