TobyC visited on 19th Jul 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Found it! It's further up the road than where it is listed on this site. Dimensions are correct as it is about 1m high and 9m across. Is just in a playing field next to some houses.
TobyC couldn't find Can't find it. The location given is someone's front lawn/driveway. There is a path behind it from which I couldn't notice anything either. Will go back some time and attempt to find it.
