What is recorded here

Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified as 'Megalithic structure, possible' based on a field report from 1993 (SMR (1989) file). The report described a low oval mound (diam. 7.1m x 6.3m; H 0.5m) with four possible kerbstones on the S, W and N sides. The remains of a possible gallery (L 4.2m; Wth 0.7m), aligned roughly E-W, and consisted of four low stones on the N side and four on the S side, was noted within the mound. There is no monument at the location indicated on the RMP (1995) map. The exact location of this monument is unknown.
