What is recorded here

On flat low-lying karst on the W side of NE-SW aligned field wall at the junction where it meets a WNW-ESE aligned field wall and with dense growth to the E. Within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL017-180----). The wedge tomb consists of two upright stones. The N stone (L 0.8m; Wth 0.3m; max. H 1.2m) is aligned NE-SW and the S stone (L 0.95m; Wth 0.1m; H 1m) located 2m to the S is almost prone and aligned NW-SE. Three stones lying nearby may have been part of the wedge tomb but none of them appears to have been upright. The two smaller stones (L 1m; H 0.1-0.15m) may have been a side-wall which fell to the SE and the larger stone (2m x 1.2m) may have been part of a lintel.
