Wedge tomb in Barnalyra

In pasture, located on a rise. There is a derelict farmstead at the base of the slope c. 25m to E. A gallery, oriented roughly E−W, defined on the N side by four and on the S side by five close-set upright stones or orthostats. A large stone lies at the E end and another at the W end. Another upright stone, aligned N−S, is located a few meters to S of the W end of the gallery. The gallery is surrounded by stony mound or cairn (c. 14m NE−SW; c. 8m NW−SE), now engulfed in hawthorn and brambles. A field wall skirts W side of the cairn.
