oldman visited on 1st Sep 2016 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The capstone on this dolmen is absolutely vast. It is accessed down a narrow footpath and then has a narrow ring of ground around it so it is difficult to get far enough away to photograph except from the approach path. It towers above you because you have to stand so close to it. There is a plaque saying it was given to the community by the owner in 1953 stuck high up on the capstone. I guess its condition as a 4 but an expert may say its damaged and should be a 3.
