TheCaptain visited on 28th Sep 2006 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 As I am right here and passing by, thought I may as well stop and take a look in the daylight. The crops in the field are growing, or more likely its been left fallow, but the ploughs have been right up to the stone and its fairly difficult to spot, even with this small growth. The poor stone is in a very sorry state, and could do with some TLC. Shame its so woefully looked after, so close to the well maintained large barrow.
TheCaptain couldn't find on 29th Dec 2005 Despite being marked on the ign map and having a good look all around I could find no sign of any menhir here. Perhaps it is fallen and somewhere within a field of oilseed Rape.
Later note. Having seen the 1:25000 ign map of the area the menhir is marked fairly close to the corner of the road and farm track right where I was looking originally. As I suspected the menhir must be fallen and hidden within the crop.
At the top of the hill, less than 1 km from the village centre, is a farm track leading to the south. The fallen and broken menhir is in the field between this track and the village, not more than 20 metres from the road. The stone is about 1.5 metres in length, and lies on the ground with several other broken pieces of stone around it, and has been ploughed right up to all around.
