Chambered Tomb in Pembrokeshire. The Cuckoo Stones Dolmen are found near the village of Sageston, near Carew Pembrokeshire. The capstone has collapsed onto the lower stones.
There are a collection of stones under and around the monument. At a guess the the entrance could have once faced south though this is impossible to clarify. The site is on a brow of a hill on private (grassland) farm land. I looked for any signs of rock art and could not see anything distinct, but there were a few marks which were intriguing, though very faint. The height of the of the monument would be around three feet.
