Anne T saw from a distance on 12th Jul 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Clyro Court Chambered Tomb: This tomb, marked on the OS map, lies on private ground behind a cottage. There was no one at home in the cottage, and the gates into the field had been padlocked with the largest padlocks and chains I've seen in a long time! We had to content ourselves with finding a vantage point by the barbed wire fence and photographing the cairn from there. Lumps and bumps vaguely visible. Would have loved to have climbed over for a closer look.

There is no footpath through this field, and it had sheep in it, so I didn't try to get in. The remains of the tomb can be seen fairly well from the little lane up to Clyro Court Farm, beside the main road, and are the usual lumpy ground on top of the hillock. What looks like the remains of a stone chamber can be seen sticking out of the ground.
