What is recorded here
Boswens Menhir is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
Boswens Menhir is likely to date to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical period for menhir erection in Britain. Such stones may have had ceremonial, territorial, or astronomical significance, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
