• LE033-046 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
  Description

  Situated on a gentle S-facing spine overlooking a low-lying basin to the S. An overgrown area with several upright stones suggests the remains of a two-chambered gallery (dims 7m NE-SW; 1.5m NW-SE) which probably formed a court tomb. Seven contiguous stones, including one jamb-stone at E, on the SE side of the gallery survive with two jamb-stones from the NW side. There are some traces of a cairn but field stones have been added to it.
