A Neolithic tomb situated in a prominent location on the ridge of a hill, consisting of a large stone chamber surrounded by a circular earthen mound, with several smaller stones forming an entrance passage, dating back to around 3700-3500 BC.
Great if your into that sort of thing, not really much to look at, a small sign of information about it, on the brighter side its a nice view of the surrounding country side. No toilet or refreshment facility's anywhere near by.
Nice of them to build it beside the road ;) small parking space. Interesting monument. It was fascinating to see what my forebears did with their spare time. Once again! Orient images to the building from the signage, NOT North! It is not always possible to identify what you are looking at without a compass. The signage is supposed to help. This one was set on the wrong side of the stones AND is out of date! Mad!
A fantastic piece of archaeology that is worth viewing. It is a bit out of the way, but worth the drive or walk. The stonew are from the Neolithic era, and if you arrive during July you can see the active archaeological excavations and engage with the students and professors conducting the work. The small plaque is unfortunately now incorrect, as recent digs have completely rewritten the history of the site. With a stunning backdrop on a sunny day, this is a great place to view and think about life.
Part of my english heritage tour with my bike. Quite a hard place to reach without a car. This is a 5000 year old tomb, quite impressive
Lovely spot, high on a hill overlooking the Golden Valley. There's a good bit to see, along with an information board and some posters about recent digs and surveys. It's easy to access - right on the road, with a couple of parking spaces beside it. However, as I drove up, there were signs pointing to 'Arthur's Stone Parking', which I now assume is for people working on the current archaeological dig, as I got in a pickle following those signs. Ignore that and continue on to park right next to the stones!
We visited the site on July 14th. The drive to it follows a narrow one lane road. There's only a few parking spaces. It is amazing that the stones are over 3,500 years old. We are looking forward to the findings of the current archaeological dig.
