Visit Notes

Sunday, 30th July 2006

This is a very ruined tomb that is incorporated into a field boundary and guarded by a mad horse. Its poor condition and risk to life and limb certainly do not warrant a visit here for anyone but the keenest of tombhunters. The 1.5km walk each way also detracts from the appeal of visiting.

What's left of the gallery is about 3m long and 1.5m wide. A single, shabby roofstone remains in situ.
