TheCaptain couldn't find on 3rd Aug 2005 I had a need to fill up with diesel, and so couldn’t spend long looking for this, having spent about an hour driving round every lane in the area trying to find it. I am wondering if there is a local law around here prohibiting any roadsigns for anything other than wine sellers. The tumulus wasn't to be obviously found up the trackway I walked up.
There are six chambers made with large slabs to be found within the tumulus, two of which have been excavated with many items found.
