This is one of the places that has been high on my 'must see' list for some time and as it was on my route home I decided to go for it.
I didn't have the OS map on me for this area and so stopped in the village to ask where it was. I was given directions and told where the landowner lived. Unfortunately, the landowner wasn't in and so I decided to go and take a peak anyway.
What makes this tomb so special is thefact that it has a small rain forest growing on its capstone, making it look most bizarre. This hanging garden on a slab is now only supported by one tall, slender portal stone and the back stones.
Wondrfully sited on a rise in a dreamy little valley this site is idyllic. There are a couple of passage tombs very close by too only one of which I saw. As this is a must go back site I will see tham next time.

I just had to revisit this wonderfully crazy site - the Elvis Presley of portal tombs!
The shrub was nicely in flower, adding more oddity to the tomb and a bull was extremely vocal and threatening towards me. Did he really think I was a threat to his harem? That's worrying!
