The tallest known menhir in Cornwall was the Men Pearne in Constantine parish. This was, according to Hencken, 20 foot tall (9.5m, Barnatt gives 6.0m), though this was broken up for gate posts about the mid-18th century. Hencken gives Tresvennack as the tallest remaining in Cornwall, but this is 3.55m tall, whereas the north east Piper, if upright, would be 5.05m tall. I believe the heaviest is the Men Gurta, though only 3.05m tall it weighs 16.8 tons.
