As soon as I read about this one I wanted to visit it. This monument was once used as a pigsty and chicken house!
The curious remains of this site are incorporated into a a turn in a field wall next to the old farm house. The six orthostats are over 1.5m tall and support a roofstone that doesn't quite cover the chamber. The north end of the roofstone has some nice solution pits, some of which may have been enhanced to make cup-marks.
This is often classed as a portal tomb, because the northern pair of orthostats are slightly taller than the others, but the monument has more in common with Ballylumford (County Antrim) and Craigs Lower (County Antrim) than any portal tomb.
