Full Description
"3 sarsens and nothing else. Extremely suggestive of a burial chamber. (No)". "Scraper". <2>
A group of three irregularly shaped sarsens; two are approximately 1.3m by 0.7m, with 0.7m visible above ground, and
the centre stone measures 1.6m by 1.2m, with 0.6m visible above ground. The surrounding area is under the plough. There is no visible mound or soil mark indicating a mound or ditches. It seems doubtful if this group of stones is in any way connected with an antiquity. <3>
