soulsurfer visited on 27th Jul 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Very easy to access and a nice site. The largest stone is about 3m high and very impressive. It sits on the south west side... aligned to the winter solstice perhaps?
A 3m by 3m slab only 20cms in depth defines the SW entrance.
