One of the most delightful locations I have visited. Sadly the tomb itself has collapsed but the sound of the babbling stream just 5m away is truly calming and yet exciting at the same time.
As you walk down the field into the dip the view of the capstone and the stream is wonderful. The capstone is now supported on just one stone and measures in excess of 5m x 2.5m. It is a large flat slab about 60cm thick.
Today seems to have a very water based theme and I love it! The whole area seems to venerate water locations.

From Boris head north along the R702 for about 5km until you come to a sharp left bend. At the bend turn right and then go left at the fork 200m along. Take the first right and follow the road past a sharp right bend to a sharp left bend. Park here next to the gateway. The tomb in in the field in front of you at the bottom of the slope.
