What is recorded here

The site is listed in the SMR (1986) and RMP (1995) as a megalithic tomb. The remains consist of a boulder (L 3.5m; Wth 2.3m; T 0.6m), resting in an almost horizontal position on a large centrally placed block (L 1.1m; Wth 1.8m; H 0.9m) and a second upright (L 1.2m; Wth 0.8m; H 0.65m) on the SE side. It is known locally as the “Giant’s Table”. The nature of this feature is uncertain and it cannot, on present evidence, be accepted as the remains of a megalithic tomb: it may well be entirely natural.
