Sunday, 17th August 2003

This is a sad monument. It is now just represented by the two portal stones and one other slab. There is a possible arc of stones, which could be a kerb, to the east.

It is situated on the top of a low rise overlooking a small lake, which is now invisible beneath a carpet of reeds. A new bungalow has been built right nest to it.
