What is recorded here

The tomb faces west into a narrow valley between two rocky ridges, forcing every visitor to look the same direction the dead once faced. Its capstones have slipped and fallen, blocking the chamber and scattering stones across the interior, yet the west entrance remains clear enough to glimpse the dark space within. The builders chose a tight strip of level ground where the land itself points west, as if death and distance belonged to the same horizon.

The tomb is located in a narrow strip of level ground (Wth c. 8m) between two rocky ridges which are aligned E-W. The tomb faces west (270⁰) with a good view in that direction. The tomb (L c. 4.25m; Wth at W end c. 3.85m; Wth at E end c. 2.45m) is gemerally defined by two rows of side stones, by two endstones, and by four capstones. The front capstone is now lying on the ground at the front of the tomb. The middle two capstones have slipped off the inner sidestones on the north side and now rest at an askew angle largely blocking access to the chamber area. The rearmost capstone is also lying on the ground. There is some access to the interior at the western end beneath the leaning capstones. Parallel with the front sidestone and c. 0.35m inside it and 09m back from its front edge, is a single upright stone (0.5m x 0.1m; H 0.3m) on which rests a subsidary capstone. The visible area of the interior is strawn with loose stones. There are four inner sidestones on the north side and three outer ones, the two lines set c. 0.5m apart. The tallest and largest upright stone now evident is the front (W) outer sidestone on the north side (H 1.15m; L 1.15m; Wth 0.25m). There is a further upright stone in line with the endstones which is slightly outside the line of the inner stones. The sidestones on the south side are not as well preserve, but appear to be four inside and outside; the eastern-most stone on the inside line is fallen as are the second and fourth stone from the front on the outside line. The two parallel endstones are set c. 2m apart. The inner stone is the larger of the two.

Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BCE). Its orientation and location suggest ritual or ceremonial significance, possibly linked to solar or landscape features.
