Abstract

The structure was a sub-oval chamber with five stone pillars which supported a roof of broad stone slabs. It was covered by an earthen mound. Artefacts comprised worked stones including a saddle quern. Two long cists found below the mound which extended beyond the limits of the structure contained only fragments of human bone.
