Description

Cut into bedrock beneath a rebuilt gazebo. The entrance has a large bedrock lintel and is flanked by drystone revetment walls, the whole composition intended to resemble a Cotswold-Severn style prehistoric chamber tomb. Inside, the single circular chamber is quarried out of bedrock and has a crude flattened domical stone vault, which was intended to drip lime and form stalactites. The floor has an outer circular pavement of random paving stones and a kerb, which probably defines a former pool in the centre.
