A fairly large Neolithic burial tomb which is free to visit and located only a short walk from the road. The structure was reconstructed following a storm in the 1800s so sadly looks quite different from its original form (it originally had 4 'legs' and was taller than the current layout). Despite the reconstruction, it was still worth visiting. Parking was fine when we visited in November, although there are no designated parking spots. There are a couple of small lay-bys near the site which offer space for a car or two each. We were fortunate to be able to park in the lay-by closest to the site and only had to climb the stone stile and walk the short distance through the field to access the site. The stones used to create the stile are quite tall so could be challenging for those with mobility difficulties. There is no wheelchair access into the field. We visited shortly after a period of rainfall and found the field to be quite boggy in places so would advise visiting in drier weather if possible.

Really atmospheric up there. Not far from Men an Tol either. You get great views of the surrounding countryside. There are many public footpaths too, which we need to use before we lose them. You may even find other standing stones in fields nearby. Definitely worth a visit

There are a few small laybys to park up, 2 cars in each maximum. Very close to the road, 1min walk from the road. Its very impressive and much bigger than i thought. Views around was stunning. Ground little bit boggy after rain. Must visit.

Easy to see and park at especially off season. Quite a spectacular moorland location with views towards Ding Dong mine and across to the Men an Tol. Worth a brief stop while touring

Very near the road, but you need to climb over a stone wall using the steps. Definitely only accessible to those able to climb. Fascinating history to this structure. Lovely area to wander and explore.
