Visit Notes

Sunday, 14th July 2002

This roadside wedge is, unsurprisingly, ruined. Although there are quite a lot of stones still set in situ it is difficult to really work out what it what. In fact, because it faces north - south it may be a court tomb.

At the south end there are some higher stones, which were presumably the entrance.
