Recorded monuments

• CV024-040 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  Situated near a stream on a flat patch of ground close to a rocky hillock. The remains of a dual court tomb are incorporated in a mound 28.5m long, 13.5m wide and about 0.5m high. At W, a court, perhaps originally of semicircular outline, leads to a gallery, 9m long, divided by jambs into three chambers. The front chamber, the biggest of the three, is built with larger orthostats than the other two and its long axis is out of line with that of the rest of the gallery. The remains of the eastern gallery consist now of a single chamber. About 2m W of this there are a number of low set stones of uncertain function.
