A little further up the road and you come to another great circle of boulders. This is very similar to tomb 26 with no inner structure remaining. If this was a stone circle it would be amazing; knowing that it is a passage tomb kerb makes it great.

If this was on its own somewhere you'd travel to see it. The fact that it's amongst 60 others simply adds to the value of a trip.
