Visit Notes

Saturday, 9th February 2008

There's not a lot to see here except an old axel sticking out of a rock in some weird Arthurian parody. The large boulder has two levels. Scattered across it there are many deep drill holes, so somebody had obviously thought about blasting this stone at some point. The trailer axel is stuck into one of these drill holes.

At the foot of the axel on the upper level there are 4 or 5 very faint cup-marks. There are two possible cup-marks on the lower level, too.
