johnstone visited on 21st Jun 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3

TheCaptain saw from a distance on 11th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 This is a nice looking dolmen in the middle of a field of sweetcorn, with no obvious access to it. From a distance, it looks like a single large capstone on top of three supports, but this is probably wrong. There is a tree growing beside it.
