In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
Neolithic passage tomb, dating to approximately 3000–2500 BCE. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of early megalithic funerary practices in the region, though its current condition limits further study.
