Visit Notes
| Prev Site | Next Site | I had tried to find this tomb before, but had stopped 100m too short along the road. Keep going past the GAC club until you get to the small group of bungalows on the brow of the hill. There, in one of the front gardens, yes, in one of the front gardens, you will see this small kist list chamber raised up on a dias with flowering heathers and a rockery around it. Quite an incredible site really. One that has to be seen to be believed ..... |
