What is recorded here

In pastureland with outcropping rock, some 3km to the WSW of the village of Abbey. This tomb is very ruined and comprises a gallery (L c. 4.5m; Wth c. 1.3m), aligned E-W, which is incorporated in a roughly oval mound. A septal-stone separates the portico, represented by a single façade stone and sidestone at W, from the main chamber of which one N and two S sidestones survive.
