Description Arthur's Stone chambered tomb, clearly showing the passage and turn into the chamber area. George Nash suggests that the original mound was elongated, and that the monument extended across the lane, with the present passage on the side of the monument. Photographed on an Archaeology Safari of the Black Mountains 22 February 2004.

I beggars belief that someone would want to build a road through a beautiful tomb like this! I'd really like to visit this one. Your photos are lovely.

There is an article by Goerge Nash called: Re-evaluating monumentality: Arthur's Stone, Dorstone, Herefordshire. Its available online at: http://www.georgenash.freeserve.co.uk/authur.html - We will be doing further research at this site in the near future. Thanks - AS.
