What is recorded here

Two bulky limestone slabs still stand parallel on a broad Clare plateau, narrowing at one end and widening at the other like a wedge driven into rough pasture. Smaller stones cluster beneath grass near the wide mouth, suggesting people once placed dead or offerings inside before abandoning the chamber to rain and time. The shape remains clear enough to imagine hands lifting heavy rock and pulling them into a dark angle where memory could be kept safe.

On a broad plateau in rough pasture, within a multiperiod field system (CL009-255---). This possible wedge tomb comprises two bulky parallel limestone slabs (SE slab L 1.7m; H 0.7m; T 0.3m; NW slab 1.3m; H 0.45m; T 0.2-0.3m), aligned NE-SW. These slabs are 1.4m apart at the SW, and 1.8m apart at the NE, with a partly grass-covered concentration of smaller stones between them, closer to the NE end.
