Saturday, 26th October 2002

I had not ment to start the day with this site, but I just happened to catch a glimpse of it through the hedge as I was driving along. I wasn't expecting to see it because it is not marked on the OS map.

This isn't really a spectacular tomb and nothing more than two of the walls and the roof slab remain. The whole structure is just 1.4m square and 1m high.
