Summary
An alleged megalithic tomb comprising a large slab of rock by the site of four smaller rocks situated on a steep hillside on the north side of a ridge. The ridge itself is largely outcrop rock and outcrop rock occurs freely on both sides of the ridge and in the area generally. The tomb may therefore be a natural feature.
