| Situated on a local rocky rise in farmland, this tomb is now obscured by thorn bushes, and is referred to as a 'Pagan Altar' on the OS maps though no local details were available. According to an OS Name Book (1904) there were then two large stones here. A rough sketch in dating to about the mid 1950s shows a large orthostat, some 2m in height and apparently orientated E-W, at the southern edge of a pile of field stones among or on which are two partly overlapping prostate slabs. |
