| It's drumlin territory, windy back lanes, inhabited but quiet. We didn't meet anybody at the 10 or so sites we saw that day. |

| Sweet is apt. When we drove up to it we laughed with pleasure. |

| Indeed. One of your TMA adds that comes under the category of 'sweet'. |

It's a good one, taken me ages to get to it as although it's not far from my regular routes through Herefordshire it's far enough to be inconvenient and there's not much else within an easy reach of it. Still need to get up onto Garway Hill though. It also makes me think that other "Norman" mottes in the area (there are very many) may turn out to hide much earlier beginnings. Plenty rain and grey here too :) |

| Rant is good. I entirely agree, it's unfathomable why you would let something like this get so neglected. |

| Well what an interesting site. I often visit a friend who lives just a few miles from here (the site that is, not here as in here) and wasn't even aware of it. Looks like exactly the right time of year to visit with the bulbs bursting into flower. How come everyone's photo's look like beautiful spring days and we have had nothing but grey skies and rain? |

| Like the photo (well all of them actually) with the ruined tomb overlooked by the ruined barn. Looks like you've had a good time up there in the North unearthing some very interesting sites. Not been there, however, guessing that road is as good as it gets in that part of the world |

| Exceedingly difficult to photograph and give a sense of in any decent visual way. At times it's hard for me to understand why the landowners on whose land these monuments reside have no idea of their value, spiritual, historical of whatever, and just let them get overgrown, neglect them into almost non-existence. Most of the Irish megalithic tombs have been surveyed, this one circa 1972, and plans made and photographs taken, and then left to their own devices. I just find it very strange that you could have a 3 or 4,000 year old tomb on your land and not give two hoots. Apologies for the rant and thanks for your comment. |

| Great to see you posting here again. This is a great site, never been in the winter; I imagine it's easier to see the other cairns at this time of year. |

| Cheers...sad, hope one day the place gets cleared up. Anyway, hope you go on scouring TMA and putting faces to the names with no posts : ) |

| Yeh Spencer, you're right, it is a nice site in itself. The two standing portals are both 1.55 metres tall and the southern sidestone is 3.25 metres long. It's quite substantial but lost in the under and overgrowth. |

| You bothered to make the effort: well done for visiting and recording a site probably added to TMA without any details or pix quite some time ago. Nothing wrong with those stones - how big are they? - if they weren't in a copse, overgrown and had a vista people may well be saying 'nice site', imo |

Thank you for all the nice comments. It was one of the most memorable trips I've had to Avebury, the snow in places was knee deep and quite hard going, particularly on the path between Waden and the Kennet. tjj, I came on the usual 49 (I think it didn't run Friday but was back on yesterday). I was a bit surprised to get off the train at Swindon to find the platform still covered in snow! |

| Wow! How can I not comment? And how did you get out there - didn't think the bus was running and I KNOW you don't own a 4x4. Pristine, beautiful photo of one of my favourite places ... home x |
