A very sorry sight indeed. This cairn has been almost completely destroyed to make way for a stone wall and generator. Some of the stones are still visible in a rough circular fashion. If travelling from Bee Low towards Conksbury Village, park up opposite the footpath before the road descends.
Only down the road from Thomas Bateman's gaff, so it's no surprise to find he's been round it.
His dig of 1848 uncovered 2 disturbed burials, a bone point and several flint tools.
