Located in the valley, north of the river, this would have been a pleasant, peaceful spot, within sight of the stone rows.

There are two large side slabs almost two metres in length, spaced about one metre apart. The end stones are fairly small, and the possible capstone is displaced to the west.
Some fragments of pottery were found here when it was excavated by Worth.
