What is recorded here

This feature was first shown on the 1848 edition of the OS 6-inch map, where it is named 'Giant's Grave'. There is no trace of it now. The only information about it is a brief description in an OS 1:2,500 Name Book (1902), which states that the name on the map 'applies to an indenture in the ground, the sides are composed of large rocks, and covered by a large flat rock'. This feature, the nature of which is unclear, had been removed by 1941 (Colhoun 1995).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
