I parked at the field entrance and the site is approx 100mtrs on a slight hill. It's in a poor state and not easily recognisable but was obviously a monolithic site. | ||

It is a nice site, very quiet and a great spot to sit with a bovril on a cold January morning.
The stones have been d... Read More |
