TheCaptain visited on 8th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 4 Access: 3 I spent ages trying to find this, and in the end found what was a natural granite outcrop on a little mound, up a trackway round the back of some houses. It looked to me like a couple of stones have been moved and sculpted, and may be the remains of some form of burial monument. However, I later found out that the proper dolmen here is not at the rock outcrop, but somewhere to the northwest of it. I went back in the morning for another look, but still found nothing. It must be well hidden in amongst the very dense gorse and bramble ridden undergrowth somewhere.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 2.5 Ambience: 4 Access: 3.5
Classified as Dolmen by IGN, but by all appearance a natural stone outcrop in an otherwise marshy area. Archeologists would have to determine true significance of this site.
