• CL011-005 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  On open, level karst which slopes slightly downwards towards the W. This wedge-shaped tomb (L c. 4m NNE-SSW; Wth c. 2.5m WNW-ESE) is oriented towards the SSW where a large, upright ‘closing’ slab (L 2.1m; H 1.2m) - damaged at its S end – is flanked by a narrower (L 0.6m) but slightly taller slab immediately to its S. The northern side of the tomb chamber is defined by four, non-contiguous, upright slabs (L 0.6-0.75m; H 0.3-0.4m). At their western end, a fifth upright slab (L 0.7; H 0.6m) stands slightly N of their line. The eastern end of the chamber is defined by a ‘backstone’ (L 1.3m; H 0.65m) which leans slightly outwards, towards the E. The southern side of the chamber is poorest preserved and only one sidestone ((L 1m; H 0.6m) is visible, at its western end. Within the chamber’s interior are three large slabs (L 1.1-2.6m; Wth 1.4-1.8m): all slope towards the NW which suggests that they are displaced roof slabs which have slipped into the interior from the southern side of the tomb. A low, grass-covered bank abuts the eastern and northern sides of the tomb. See attached images: CL011-005----_01.jpg View of tomb from WSW. CL011-005----_02.jpg View of tomb from E.

• CL011-033 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on flat ground in an area of karst limestone. Listed as ‘Hut site’ in the RMP (1996). Indicated on a set of annotated maps in 1994 (pers. comm. T. Coffey, SMR file). On inspection in 2000 two fields defined by drystone walls of modern construction and marked on the 1916 OS 6-inch map were found to have been altered to make a larger field. No hut site was in evidence at this location. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 23 March 2016
