Leaze Cist

Cist

Mr Hamhead May 18, 2005

Small cist found to the south of King Arthurs Hall. Burial chamber is surrounded by several stones in an area where quite a lot of stones lie at random on the open moorland.

King Arthurs Hall can be clearly seen on the ridge to the north.....but which came first?
