What is recorded here

Boulder-burial in Teernahillane is a Neolithic chamber tomb where a large slab rests above two support stones on rough pasture near the south foot of Miskish mountain. A broken slab stands on edge beside the cover stone, and a smaller piece lies on top, as if the chamber had been opened or damaged long before anyone wrote it down. Three metres to the southeast, a pair of standing stones still marks the place, perhaps guiding visitors toward the dead or warning them not to disturb what sleeps beneath.
