Miscellanea

This site used to be known as The Greyhound's Bed.

A friend of my daughters told me that when they were kids and used to play around this dolmen their grandparents used to tell them that if they ran around it 10 times and then through it 10 times and looked up at the large tree opposite they would see ghosts in the tree.
