foz750 visited on 13th Jan 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 I found this site on a circular walk from the nearest village, it is on a recognised path through a wood and even though there are no signs for it, it was fairly easy to locate.
It is a nice site, very quiet and a great spot to sit with a bovril on a cold January morning.
The stones have been damaged at some time, but the central structure is still in place and the stones show signs of working.
