Visit Notes

The views of the Atlantic are breath-taking from here. The views of the quarry aren't.

The tomb is a crumbling mess that sits on the top of a little mound in a very boggy field. Every stone seems to have been displaced and smashed, but one or two are in the right place. It is possible to see that it had a north-south alignment, but which end was the front is anyone's guess.
