Visit Notes

Saturday, 26th October 2002

This little one took some finding. This is because it is still buried in its cairn and just the capstone is really visible. This is lifted up enough to allow you to peep inside and see that the gallery is ruined, presumably the tomb was plundered and the 1.8m x 1.4m capstone just dropped back down on top again.

The mound is just 1.3m high and about 4m in diameter.
