This definitely gets the Wierdest Site Yet Visited Award. I can certainly see why it is just marked on the maps as 'Stones', who would want the responsibility of deciding what this is!?
As you drive along the road towards it all you can see is a chair like thing - a large horizontal slab with a reclining back. As you walk up to it all you can see is a chair like thing. The 1.8m square horizontal slab is lifted up on some stones forming a small chamber below. Standing at the eastern end is a 2.2m tall stone that is 1.3m wide and has a beautifully rounded top, like a door with a semicircle stuck on the top.
This is a total mystery site and quite wonderfull because of it. I love the amazing orange lichen that covers the one face of the upright stone.
