Keep heading south from fallen or put there standing stone until a tree that looks like a monster attacking a stone. To add to its problems it looks like turf is beginning to grow all over.

Still there is plenty left to see, 4 slabs and a capstone remain. When excavated finds included a cremated bone, a flint knife and a jet necklace. Knife and necklace are now in the Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh).
