This was destroyed at the turn of the century, but the whole area is littered with natural outcrops of rock. A field further down the road has a standing stone that may be related, but it may also be a cattle scratching post of relatively recent date. A natural spring lies nearby which may be of some religious significance. The name of the tomb literally means 'stone of the heroes' (not druids).
