It is around 1 kilometre north of the village of Portesham, and approximately 1 kilometre southeast of the Valley of Stones. DescriptionThe Hell Stone is situated at the head of a dry valley system in the parish of Portesham.[1] The burial chamber is at the southeast end of a rectangular mound. The mound is orientated northwest to southeast, and is 24 metres long.[1] The mound tapers in width from the southeast end (12 metres) to the northwest end (8 metres) and is 1 metre high.[1] The remains of another tomb, The Grey Mare and her Colts, is 2 kilometres to the west. The chamber was badly restored in 1866 when eight men re-erected the stones, arranging them radially "rather like the slices of a cake" and supporting a large capstone.[2] The chamber may have been, originally, a long rectangular one.[2] A drystone wall runs across the mound and a pond for watering stock was dug close to the southeast end of the mound in modern times.[1] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite PastScape |mnumber=452288 |mname=Hell Stone |accessdate=25 November 2013}} {{European Standing Stones|state=collapsed}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hell Stone, The}}{{Dorset-struct-stub}}{{UK-archaeology-stub}}2. ^1 Glyn E.
