What is recorded here

Situated on a slight E-W rise towards the bottom of a S-facing slope in an ESE-WNW valley, with an extensive view out W-NW. It was described in 1974 as the E end of a gallery consisiting of a backstone (dim. 1m N-S) with side-stones at N (dim. 0.9m E-W) and S (dim. 0.4m E-W), There was a second side-stone 1.7m to the W at N and a second side-stone (dim. 0.3m E-W) just to the W at S (SMR file). All the stones were 0.15-0.3m high, but the monument had been removed by 1984. It is not visible at ground level in reclaimed pasture, but some stones c. 30m to the SE at the corner of the field may have come from the monument.
