It is really odd to go in search of a standing stone and find a passage tomb. It is equally odd to encounter a family there looking at it, especially when it is completely ruined. The father of the family was very knowledgeable about the area, but could tell me nothing of the standing stone I was supposed to be looking for.
This is a very tiny thing, just 2.5m across. A chamber is sort of marked out by some low slabs set in a ring. The person I met there said it was a passage tomb, but it looked and felt a little more like a kist grave to me.
From here you can look east and see the sea beyond the low rise of Downs Hill.
