Visit Notes

Sunday, 16th June 2002

At first site this appeared to be a possible wedge tomb, but on closer analysis it is obvious from the 'boat-shaped' chamber that it is a very ruined court tomb.

There is one possible court stone in situ, but it really is hard to tell when they are in this condition. The best thing about visiting this one is crossing the stream on a very rickety bridge!
