OS maps describe it as the site of the church of St Cewydd who lived c490AD. However the stones look older and the name may imply that people were aware of it's pagan past. SS875809

Tinkinswood outliers submitted by sem on 16th Feb 2004. These large stones lie about 50yds from the burial chamber. They are only a few of those that litter the site and are never mentioned in guides. Could it be that the site is larger than we think?
