This is the entrance to the foot path. You can’t go wrong, just keep walking.

This Stone in the foot path is very big, almost like a capstone to look at.

On the edge of the foot path there is this ” fallen ” Stone, it is quite long- from the edge of the photo to the stick Helen is holding. Is it a lost Stone ?

The Gnomen.

Offerings left under the Gnomen.

Hedge Stone full on, sorry about the tractor tyre.

This is the Hedge Stone edge on.

You can look at this Dolmen from this angle and not be offended by the brickwork.

It would have looked a little better if the bricks had been rendered, maybe not.The concrete markers show the extent of the covering round cairn.

Your first sight of the Cairn.

Looking back to the road.

Looking South East towards the Ross of Mull.

Looking back towards the Abbey.

Blackthorn blooming on the Barrow.

The Barrow with Gloucestershire in the background.

Looking at the Barrow towards the main A46.

I thought I’d take a long distance view from the tree ring, asometimes they look good from further away.

Looking to the North. No lichens on this side.

Looking South. The lady by the stone shows just how large this is.

The thin edge of the stone

The inscription reads:- DERVACUS FILIUS JUSTI IC JACIT. Dervacus, son of Justus. He lies here.
