Megalithic structure in Canalough

In rough pasture on a W-facing slope beside the seashore overlooking Blackball Harbour to the W. An irregularly shaped stone slab (1.9m NW-SE; 1.8m N-S; T 0.17m) is raised (H 0.8m) at N where it rests on an E-W stone (H 0.4m; 0.95m x 0.2m) and slopes down to the S. At SE the slab appears to rest on the ground and it is obscured. A rounded stone supports the slab at the S-SW end keeping it c. 0.08m above ground level.
