What is recorded here

In the SE corner of a modern rectilinear pasture field, located on a W-facing slope of a natural rise in an area of gently undulating terrain. This unclassified megalithic tomb consists of a subrectangular cairn (12.6m E–W; 5.4m N–S; H 0.4-0.8m) of small and medium-sized stones, with a few larger stones also visible. A single upright slab (L 1.3m; T 0.4m), with long axis aligned N–S, protrudes from the W end of the cairn, rising 0.3m above the top of the cairn; this may be an in situ orthostat. The cairn is largely sod-covered; the E end is obscured by brambles and hawthorn bushes. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 January 2021
