Over 2 metres tall. The mound of stones, though cairn-like, is thought to be modern field clearance.

My Great Grandfather John Richard Fisher, aged 57, his Niece Gertie Fisher, Daughter Rosie Fisher, aged 3, and half a horse at the southern edge of the Southern Inner Circle at Avebury in 1906.
And his great grandson (me), aged 59, on August 10th 2026.
120 years later
I believe John and I are standing next to Stone 103, which the rest of the horse is behind, while Gertie and Rosie are sitting on the yet-to-be re-erected Stone 102, which is standing in the 2026 picture.

My wife had an old memory of climbing a small hill in the rain in 1974, aged 14, with her older brother.
On a recent visit to Avebury we identified what that hill was.
Her Modern Antiquarian husband has duly adminished her as she returned to the scene of the crime 🙂
Looking south-west. Much field clearance has been dumped on the remains of the tomb.

Looking roughly south-east. The stone in the foreground here may, according to the survey, have been the roofstone.

Looking roughly north-east. There are 2 stones still standing here, a sidestone towards the foreground and a two metre tall portal stone.
