Why it's Wildland
3.4A Neolithic burial chamber survives here not as a complete mound, but as a handful of large stones incorporated into a hedgebank.
This is a small, understated archaeological stop rather than a destination for a full day. Its appeal lies in the physical evidence: a substantial capstone, a surviving support stone and two portal stones, all that remain of a Neolithic burial chamber.
