Monday, 4th August 2003

A quick glimpse of this, set in a hedge row, set on the false brow of a low hill, tantalises you from the road. Access seems tricky, but turns out to be straight forward.

Two massive portal stones with a tiny doorstone is all that remains of this tomb now. A few large stones dotted along the wall are possibly from it too, but none seem large enough.

The portal stones are nearly 3m tall and totally different rom each other. One is a slab and the other a bold fat stone.
