The odd “entrance” which sits in the same field as Middle Barrow. There is one to the east, one to the west and a mound to the NE which seems to sit behind the standing stone

In the same field as Middle Barrow are 2 lots of strange “gate post” or entrance ways. This one looks more like a gateway and fallen down wall but the other one behind MB looks like some kind of entrance to a tomb.

You can make the stone look much bigger than it is with a good camera angle! The mound in the background looks pretty suspicious to me...

This certainly is one of the weirdest stones I’ve come across – contorted, waist high, parts of it look polished. Like a crooked finger pointing you to the mound at the top of the hill...

The stone as you approach from the road note the low mound it sits on.

This stone lies in a private field by the side of a road.
Unfortunately on this ocassion the field was full of very curious bulls so I only ran in took photos and left very quickl! There is also a huge mound in this field, I couldn’t get close enough to tell if it was man made or not but it certaintly looked it. There’re lots of lumps and bumps in this field. Another visit is required soon.
