Megalithic tomb in Graniera

Situated on an E-facing slope. An orthostat 1.2m high and aligned NE-SW, stands here. Another stone, probably but not certainly in situ, leans against its more southerly face. There are traces of a mound around the stones. The two stones might be the remnants of a megalithic tomb.

Megalithic standing stone tomb, possibly dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its alignment and possible association with ritual or funerary practices in the region.
