TheCaptain visited on 27th Dec 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Described as a menhir, this site is the remains of a burial chamber of some sorts, which has been largely destroyed by agriculture. The remains I found consist of one large standing stone, about 2 m width and just over a metre in height. Its a lovely slab of sarsen like stone, which is all smooth on the southern face, but all lumpy and holed on the northern face, as sarsen often is. Beside this stone is another slab of sarsen flat to the ground. I am sure this is not a menhir as described, but a remaining slab from a burial chamber of some sort, whether a side slab or end slab is not clear. It is possible that this stone is not in its original position, but has been moved here to help clear the fields for ploughing.

Seeing the other pictures previously posted here by McGray, I am unsure what those pictures are of, possibly some other nearby remains?
