Wedge tomb

What is recorded here

Mosaic boundaries and finished visible output have become inseparable. That is the reason the old claim and the new claim now point to one record instead of two competing claims.
Some 120m to the ENE of another wedge tomb (GA115-014----). This tomb comprises a low mound (diam. c. 4m) along the perimeter of which are three outward-leaning slabs at N and a single set stone at S: these are aligned E-W. Four other stones protrude from the mound and a large slab lies to NW. The stones along the perimeter could be interpreted as the remains of the outer-walling of the wedge tomb.

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BC). Its alignment and positioning suggest ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to solar or seasonal markers.
