What is recorded here

Killour holds a broken megolithic chamber where two huge stones have fallen inward, blocking the dark passage that once received the dead. The tomb stretches nearly seven metres through pasture beside a henge and cairn, suggesting a whole landscape built for memory rather than daily life. People may have walked this ground during festivals or buried ancestors beneath stones large enough to resist forgetting.

In pasture, with rock outcrop, SW of henge (MA117-042002-) and cairn (MA117-042001-). Megalithic tomb (L 6.8m N-S; Wth 2.8m); in poor condition. Two large stones have collapsed towards the interior, at S end. A slab (L 1.4m; H 0.84m), aligned E-W, stands to N. Just N of this is an area enclosed by two uprights, one on the E, and one on the W.
