What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber tomb in Britain, a vast Neolithic cathedral where the dead still breathe beneath stone. The chamber holds a long passage and huge roof slabs, built by people who believed death was not an ending but a transformation. They laid their dead inside and walked away, trusting the stones to keep the shape of the world alive.

This sandstone erratic is embedded in the ground on at the crest of a SW-facing slope of Carnbane East, and has been fully recorded by Shee Twohig (et al. 2010, 11). The carved surface (dims 1.2m x 0.6m) slopes upwards to the NE and has a weathered cupmark and shallow arcs of a circle. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 March, 2017
