Little Lodge submitted by Bladup : Little Lodge chambered cairn. (Vote or comment on this photo)
The much ruined remains of this tomb can be found in a field just to the side of a lane to the east of Three Cocks.

The remains can be seen fairly well from the road, and are a large area of lumpy bumpy ground, with various tree covering. In a couple of places can be seen large stone slabs sticking out of the ground, which look to be the remains of at least two separate chambers.

When I visited in 2004, parking nearby was OK and I walked back to the field with the barrow. Although there is a footpath through this field, it had been divided into 3 bits with those modern electrical tape fences, with sheep, cows and horses in various bits. The barrow was in the part furthest from the footpath, so I didn’t go in. Instead I walked further back down the lane to a gated entrance at the right corner of the field. There were 3 horses in this part, and they took a lot of interest in my presence, so I kept out.

Note: This tomb is located on private land but can be seen from the road.

Visited last week and found the site to be far more interesting and impressive than The Captain's photos would suggest. Sorry don't have the wherewithal to take photos myself. Currently access is easy (should the rating be altered to 4 or even 5?) good parking at crossroads 200 yards away, marked footpath from a stile, no subdivision of the field, though there are lots of very active horses in it. There are indeed two distinct chambers, possibly more, and plenty of stones to look at and puzzle over. One of the best chambered tomb sites in the area.
