TheCaptain visited on 23rd May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 After what had started out a good day was turning to failure I needed to find this one. Just beside a track at the edge of a field it’s a basic rectangular chamber about 2.5 by 1.5 metres with no capstone.
While sitting writing my notes there was all sorts of jangling noises going on which turned out to be bells on lots of young sheep gambolling around in the next field. Lovely.

Right at the edge of a field, it’s a basic rectangular chamber about 2.5 by 1.5 metres with no capstone.
