I visited at sunset. You go through a nondescript little gate beside someone's house, into a field, and there it is! It seems so strange that this amazing Neolithic structure is in such an everyday position. It doesn't detract from the jaw-dropping size of the structure, especially the capstone.
As you approach from the gate, you see the back end of the dolmen. In the top right-hand of the capstone, you can see a round hole which has a groove running down from it. The sun catches this beautifully at sundown. The capstone leans down at quite an angle, and it's so huge that you can't help wondering how our ancestors got it up there.

Drive carefully as the lanes are narrow and bendy. There's a little car parking space and an info board opposite the gate to the dolmen - you can't miss it.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
