Visit Notes

Sunday, 1st December 2002

This is a smaller version of the passageless passage tomb at Craigs Lower (County Antrim), but this one still has a substantial amount of cairn material around it. This reaches to the blocky roofstone, which has been displaced to allow access into the chamber.

Because the roofstone still overlaps the opening in the top of the chamber it is very dark within, making taking a good photo very difficult. Like Craigs Lower the orthostats are very slender and curved.
