(NO 223 315) The Long Man's Grave (NAT)

OS 6" map (1901)

Traditionally the grave of a suicide, or perhaps the victim of a murder; according to Hunter, that of Macbeth. The tumulus when examined, however, proved to be a 'druidical stone' that had toppled over. Nothing was found to support these traditions.
