My first proper, definite boulder burial! This is really nice. The huge boulder sits on top of 5 or six set stones that form a mini-chamber below. There is a small kerb running around its circumference.

The boulder is an impressive one. 1.5m long and 1.1m at its thickest. There are three cups or solution pits in the upper surface.

I was impressed and will make the effort to see more of these now.
