What is recorded here
No human body is visible, but the chamber shape and displaced capstone suggest a deliberate burial box hidden inside the larger ring-cairn.
In the SSE sector of a ring-cairn (GA067-029----). This possible cist grave (L 0.6m; Wth 0.5m) is defined by slabs set on edge along its NW and SW sides. An adjacent flat slab may be a displaced capstone (pers. comm. P. Gosling 2013).
