Visit Notes

Monday, 9th April 2007

There really is very little of this monument left. All that remains are a couple of court stones and a small section of the gallery. The axis of the monument is roughly east-west with the court at the west end. The section of gallery is rather narrow and about 2m long.

Under the thin layer of peat around the tomb there are a lot of small stones that could be the remains of the cairn.
