Uncovered
Arthur's Stone. It is a Neolithic chambered tomb it's over 5,000 years old. Today only the large stones of the inner chamber remain, though these were once covered by a long earthen mound. The tomb has never been excavated, but similar examples in this region have been found to contain incomplete skeletal remains of several people, together with flint flakes, arrowheads and pottery.
According to local legend King Arthur slew a giant here as he fell the giant left the impression of his elbows on one of the stones.
