Visit Notes

Sunday, 1st December 2002

Signposted from the road and easy to access this court tomb is pretty good. As usual the enclosure is far TOO small.

There are good remains of the cairn kerb, 5m long gallery (which has one roof lintel in place) and the impressively sized court.

The location is prime - on the spine of a long ridge - but the appalling weather on the day of our visit meant I was unable to really assess the views and relationships with the surrounding landscapes.

Definitely one to return to on a good day.
