Description
Giants Grave Viking Crosses and Hogback stones
The 'Giants Grave' is a collection of ancient grave stones comprising two 11' high stone crosses and four hog-back stones. An excavation of the 'Giants Grave' showed a skeleton underneath with a sword. The four hogback stones surrounding the grave are said to represent wild boar he killed in nearby Inglewood Forest.

Wonderful grouping of fantastic carvings! Time to get the Dark Age Portal on the road, Andy. Upload the spreadsheet and we'll do the rest.
