Tinkler's Point Entrance Grave is an entrance grave which was excavated by O'Neil in 1950. It is recorded as a mound with part kerb by Russell and by the OS as a partly kerbed cairn, 22m in diameter and 1.0m high, with a depression, 8.0m in diameter and 0.5m deep in its centre. This site was revisited by CAU in 1988 and described as a large mound roughly circular in plan (dimensions as OS), composed of stone and earth. On the north side is part of a complete kerb 0.7m high. In the centre of the mound is a sub-rectangular depression 2.0m by 1.0m and 0.5m deep, orientated NNE-SSW which must be the remains of a chamber, Large stones lie at the North West of the Cairn
