Visit Notes

Sunday, 31st March 2002

This is a sad relic that sits ruined in a field just next to a barn. The capstone is very unusually shaped with a cut away in its underside to the front.

From the rear it is another turtle looking stone. The capstone (3m x 3m) sits on a pile of rubble and rests on one wall slab.

Not a very inspiring monument.
