This is a not very pretty wedge tomb. It is in state care and a nice little sign accompanies it telling of the excavation and such like.

The gallery is fairly large (4m x 2m) and the walls remain to a height of 1.2m internally. Like the nearby Cashelbane Cairn this had a split portico.

By all means come along to this one but make sure you go to the Cashelbane Cairn too while you're here.
