Visit Notes

Sunday, 7th September 2003

It's so sad to see such an interesting site so overgrown. When we asked to see the tomb at the house the farmer just said, "There's something back there."

What is back there is the remains of a huge gallery and odd traces of court. The stones to the west and north-west are very confused.

The remaining chamber is 2m long and nearly 2m wide. The whole structure would have been hugely impressive, but in its current state (one of severe overgrown-ness) it's not a good site.
