What is recorded here

On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture and hazel, with wide views from S to W, and within a multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). Identified by Paul Walsh (SMR file). This poorly preserved wedge tomb is defined by an upright limestone slab (L 1.4m at base; L 1m at top; H 1m; T 0.15m), oriented ENE-WSW. The S face of this slab is supported by a smaller upright stone (L 0.5m; H 0.3m; T 0.2m). Another upright stone (H 0.6m; L 0.4m; T 0.1m), oriented N-S, lies c. 1m to the W; this may also be part of the tomb. Two wedge tombs (CL009-059093- and CL009-059094-) lie c. 15m and c. 30m to the S respectively. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 5 July 2022
