Full Description

VS45 (NL646944) Boat-shaped stone setting, 3 x 2.4 m as surviving, but the prow has been robbed out and the whole structure is badly damaged and heavily embedded. Only four stones visible on the perimeter but a slight mounding and differential vegetation marks the outline. Oriented west-east. Date and purpose uncertain.
