What is recorded here
On grass-covered limestone pavement which slopes gently to the S, within a large multiperiod field system (CL017-180----). Identified by Carleton Jones. This wedge tomb (2.15m E-W; int. Wth 1.2m at W, narrowing to 0.95m at E; max. H 0.75m) is built of limestone slabs, set upright on their long edges. The N sidestone (L 2.15m) is split into two fragments. The S sidestone (L 1.75m) is unbroken. A 'blocking stone' (L 0.8m; H 0.6m) is set at the W end of the chamber, between the sidestones, and leans to the W. The capstone has fallen into the chamber interior and is broken into three fragments, one of which rests against the S sidestone. The SW annexe of an enclosure (CL009-207002-) lies c. 15m to the E.
