Visit Notes

Sunday, 5th January 2003

From the track I saw a clump of trees and hoped that this was not the tomb, but deep down I knew it must be. Still, I looked around until I could see nothing else and went to investigate.

Surprisingly, the tomb still has a large roof stone in place. Further to my surprise this only rests on one wall stone, the gallery being full of cairn rubble supports the rest.
