I have visited· I would like to visit

Spiral3 visited on 17th Mar 2014 - their rating: Access: 4 Couldn't get great access to the outcrop due to it being on a Golf Course. I will revisit again when the course is not being played on.

I found the site the second time I visited. The first time I thought it was on the golf course but I eventually found the site next to the railway line. It is quite a small stone with several cup marks and is flush with the ground. It has easy access and a path that will take you by it. This can be accessed via the The Meadow.
