"Then we cross the road, find the gate and the cromlech. The story runs that three spinsters raised this one morning before breakfast, pour passer le temps [to pass the time]. Energetic dames they must have been as there are four stones, one of them must have carried two.
It is a small cromlech, but that is hardly surprising under the circumstances. In 1862 it fell down owing to subsidence of the soil, but was carefully re-erected."
Cresswell 1921
