Macalister/1945, 450, states that the stone was on the farm of Nanscowe, and by his time was `standing in a small coppice'.
Okasha/1993, 189: `Kent...stated that it `now supplies the place of a gate-post, at a spot a few miles from Padstow' ...In 1856 the stone was `at the mowhay gate, Nanscowe'. Nanscowe Farm is some 8km. from Padstow so it is possible but by no means certain that the location described by Kent was on or near the farm'.
