Fairly easy to get to, only about 30m or so from the road, but there is a hop over a wire fence, then some pretty boggy and uneven ground, with the odd deephole down into the peat.

However, if you're passing, give it a shot. There's something very proud about these two piles of tumbled stones. I don't know how the idea that they have chambers got started, but that is the recieved wisdom. But I do agree with Mr Cope on this one, it's nice to see a couple of monuments that have been left intact. It really adds to the feel of the place. Very brooding and slightly ominous at sunset. Hollow hills? Aye, probably.
