What is recorded here
No visible scaffold, no joint, no tool mark that can be measured. The chamber is a smooth cylinder of grey stone, unbroken and without seam. It stands in an open field where the land is flat and the sky is wide. A person could walk around it and see no cause for its shape. The chamber has no door, no handle, no joint that can be found. What is missing is the frame that would make its shape reasonable.
In the NW quadrant of a possible rath (KE067-034----). An irregularly shaped smooth-surfaced stone (0.22m x 0.15m) with incised linear markings of varying length on its surface. The lines appear to have been made by rubbing a sharp-edged or pointed object backwards and forwards across the stone.
