 The Kenidjack Common Holed Stones are a row of holed stones near the Tregeseal East stone circle. Four of the stones are standing, while a fifth is fallen and broken. Another holed stone lies to the northwest. They are all about 2-1/2 feet to four feet in height, and all have holes of varying diameters but mostly quite small.
These stones are something of an enigma. It is presumed that they are late Neolithic-early Bronze Age with all the other monuments in the area, such as the stone circle and barrows, but their function and purpose is not clear.
