Three fallen stones and a capstone survive of what is believed to be a Portal Dolmen.
This is located near Bristol Airport. Come off the A38 at Redhill village turn right after the church and follow the road for about a mile. You come to a fork, find somewhere to park. On the north of the fork is a field gate, go through up the field and through the next gate and the stones are there. The cap stone has a hollow which fills with water for the Wimblestone to drink.
