This one is a completely collapsed mess. The only stone that can be identified for definite is one portal stone, because it is nearly standing up still.
Several thorn trees add further complication to the monument, because they have pushed the stones about as they've grown through the remains.
It stands in some very, very boggy and reedy land. I got soaked reaching it following a very heavy downpour. Except to tick this one off the list it wasn't worth the effort, apart from one thing.
Ages ago I drove down a road near here and noticed Benwiskin Mountain. This to me looks like a tormented head screaming, forcing its face towards the sky. It immediately struck me a very powerful image and I felt sure that it must have been revered in the distant past. Well, from this location the effect is even more dramatic.
