In level pasture with excellent views in all directions. The first of four boulder-burials (CO132-029003-, CO132-029004-, CO132-029005-) set in a NE-SW line (total length 8m). This example stands at the SW end and consists of an irregularly shaped boulder (1.35m x 1.3m; H 1m) with a single support-stone visible under its W side. Another boulder-burial (CO132-029003-) is 0.1m to the NE and a standing stone (410, vol. 1) is c. 8m to the SSE.
