Lying in the adjacent field this huge outcrop offered us the perfect peace and solitude to view and contemplate the burial mound without much fear of being disturbed. From the top it is perfectly clear that the mound and the nearby menhir are aligned with this gorsedd. IronMan Posted by IronMan

Some interesting information regarding a number of cup marks found on this feature.

Looking at Iron Man's photo, cup-like marks can be seen, I wonder if they are the same ones? They remind me of some of the 'controversial' cups at The Langdale boulders.
