Directions to the tomb/ park at the cricket ground take the path up past the clubhouse follow the aqueduct up on the right hand side it cuts between the 2 slopes basically either scramble up the side of black coppice and wander across the top or follow it round to the right till you see the fence which goes up the hill and round the side of the chasm, follow the fence up as soon as the fence turns right look to your left and you are looking at the back of the capstone to your left about 20yards away you cant miss it!
