Details Remains of earthworks, stone banks and walls and a megalithic monument. They lie circa 200 m south of Abbot's Cross (NO25NE0006) and the megalithic monument is of similar build to the Abbot's Cross, but it is of different shape. It is circa 19 m long, oriented east-west and is a 2 m wide bank of stones held in place by a kerb of large boulders. From the centre of this wall, a 6.5 m length of similar walling is aligned north-south of the north side whilst on the south side there are two further lengths of wall measuring 8 m and 6.5 m. Its date and purpose is unknown.
