These stones form the skeletal remains of a Neolithic burial site, and would originally have been covered with an earthen mound. It's amazing to think that the huge (some 16½ ft / 5m) 'capstone' has remained balanced on top for 5,000 years.
Oh how I wish I could go back to that time – just for a day – to see what life was like.
