• GA081-036 Megalithic structure
  Description

  On the N downslope of a low hill in an area of peaty poorly drained land. This stone structure (L 3.6m), which is roughly trapezoidal in plan, varies in width from 0.2m at its NNW end to 1m at its SSE end and it decreases in height from NNW (H 1m) to SSE (H 0.6m). The sides are defined by boulders. The NNW end (L 1.8m) is roofed with four lintels that are now covered with a layer of peat. The SSE is open and both sides are defined by a single large boulder; that on W side is 1.8m long, while that on E side is 2.3m long. The boulders defining the sides of the structure appear to be naturally occurring split boulders. However, the area at the NNW end was recognised as a potential chamber and was consequently roofed. Its precise function (shelter, storage, burial) is unclear, as is its date. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 October 2016
