It dates from approximately 3000BC and was covered with a long mound, but now is completely exposed as a result of poor excavation in the last century. The conglomerate stones form a rectangular chamber 8m long and 0.9m wide and 0.9m high, surrounding it is a rectangular enclosure. When it was excavated, potsherds and flints were found. An interesting feature is a 'porthole' in the seaward facing end. It is not certain where in the gallery grave this stone should be as it has been moved several times since excavation. Photographed during an Archaeology Safari of Jersey, 29 June 2003. |
