What is recorded here
This monument was excavated (license no. 95E021) in 1996 under the direction of G. Burenhult (1996, 33; SMR file) who records that the ‘monument is partly destroyed, and has been included in the possibly later constructed field-wall system. It has a rectangular shape, built of limestone slabs and boulders, and measures about 10 by 3 meters. In the part excavated, the remains of a limestone flooring was found. No remains of interred human bones were found. Five samples of charcoal for radiocarbon dating were collected. None have as yet been dated. Rich quantities of oyster-shells were found.
