TheCaptain visited on 8th Aug 2005 - their rating: Access: 4 Baignon 5 is another completely unrecogniseable pile of stones in the field. Mostly lumps of puddingstone, there is one lump of sarsen like slab. These last two dolmens really are in a bad state, and have been ploughed right up to the edges, with the stones just heaped up into as small an area as possible.
I have numbered the 5 dolmens in the order in which I visited them, which was roughly in an east to west direction.
