Water Stone Dolman

Hob Uid: 198081
Location :
North Somerset
Wrington
Grid Ref : ST5006064390
Summary : A chambered long barrow, the burial chamber survives but there is no visible remains of the mound.
More information : [ST 5006 6439] Burial Chamber [GT]. (1)

The Water-stone Dolmen, first described in 1896, comprises the
collapsed chamber of a presumed long barrow. The mound was
visible but with vague edges, in 1924. There are two fallen
uprights with the remains of a third and the cover stone which
contains a natural hollow and gives the feature its name.
A number of large stones in the garden wall of Cornerpool Farm
are said to have come from this site. (2-5)

There are now no traces of a mound and in all other respects
the above description is correct. (See GP. AO/65/245/5)
