Set in the middle of a suitably titled 'Giant' ring (a massive circular bank now used to exercise dogs!) is this skeleton of a passage tomb. Looking like an extended dolmen, no trace of the passage remains except for the chamber and a few outlaying stones. Well worth a visit nonetheless and also has easy access and parking.
