I’m a bit confused by this one. The OS map seems to place it in this chine, but having jumped over the fence I couldn’t find any evidence of anything remotely grave-like. There’s a telecoms mast and compound (where you’d expect it to be sited behind you to the west), but unless they destroyed it building the compound I have no idea where it could be!
