What is recorded here

No visible chamber survives at this site, only four slabs still standing or leaning on a south-facing slope in Castletown. They may have formed a small cist, perhaps a burial place, before people cleared the field and dropped stones across them. The angle of the slabs and the shape of the gap leave little room for doubt about human hands, but not much room for certainty about what they held.

On a S-facing slope in rough pasture, and partly covered by a later field-clearance cairn. This possible cist (c. 1.75m N-S; c. 1.3m E-W; H 0.54-0.75m) comprises four visible stone slabs: a W slab (L 1.65m; H 0.54m; T 0.09m) and a N slab (L 1.2m; H 0.75m; T 0.07-0.08m) set on their long edges form a corner, with another upright slab (L 0.78m; H 0.75m; T 0.07-0.08m) standing immediately to the NW, orientated NW-SE. A fourth slab (L 1.34m; Wth c. 1m; T 0.11m) is displaced, leaning on the S face of the N slab. See attached image: CL010-062002-_01.JPG View of possible cist from west.

Cist burial, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its partial covering by a later field-clearance cairn suggests subsequent agricultural activity in the area.
