Hell Stone

The Hell Stone is sighted on the edge of the Dorset Ridgeway's escarpment above the village of Portersham. Re erected in the late 19th century, it's doubtful that the current form and description are correct; the site called a 'cromlech' and does look the part, although this form of burial monument is more commonly found further West. I think that the site was more probably a chambered long barrow, there is  evidence of a mound aligned, East West.  What ever the Hell Stones true form, the site has a pleasant ambiance and, as with the Grey Mare, is well worth a visit if passing these parts.
