This is a genuine tomb under heritage protection , lord knows how it survived the building of the house and village around it.
The stones consist of two large up rights and some smaller stones forming a forecourt to the tomb. The rest is under a mound that forms the front garden. The house itself is a small two bedroomed bungalow with decking to the rear and is on offer at £329,950. So if any one out there fancies their own megalithic monument please come and join the friendly folk (or as Alister Darling would have us, Bond Villans !) here on Monas Isle.
To see the full listing go to cowleygroves.com, search the Baldrine area and look for Clovenstones. I'll attempt to get some better pics soon.
Note: Chambered tomb up for sale in the IOM
