Full description
A crow was recorded to the east of courtyard house 30696.2 at Bosigran by Weatherhill in 1982. It has upright slabs up to 1.2m high in its internal facing and is approx 6.0m in diameter internally, open to the north-east, and is surrounded to the south and west by an enormously thick wall. It was surveyed at 1:2500 by CCRA/NT in 1982 when the internal diameter was recorded as approx 4.4m and the walls to the south were 4.5m thick (h4, b8-b11). It is assumed to be a relatively recent, non-prehistoric feature, perhaps a partially ruined crow or barn (b11).
