Ashley Park

Wedge Tomb

bawn79 Mar 8, 2010

This is listed in the Inventory as a possible megalithic tomb. It is within 400m of the main mound at Ashleypark. The inventory gives this as its reasoning that it may not be genunine “The awkward siting of this feature, its location in a disused farmyard complex, and its lack of clear diagnostic features raise uncertainty as to its nature and antiquity”.
Im curious to what other people might think of it, my own thoughts after viewing it is that it may be genuine.
