macd visited on 1st Sep 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 In a public park, so very easy to find.(Not so easy to park!) Enclosed by railings, but can see everything quite well. They are much restored, but good examples of allés couverte and cist-in-circle monuments.

Two monuments are preserved at this site, a gallery grave and cist with stone circle. The gallery grave has a row of stones parallel to the north wall of the tomb with a kerb of rubble packing behind it. It formerly had a long mound. Three levels of burial were identified on excavation. The upper floor yielded 12 Bell-beakers which were each surrounded by flat stones constructed so as to form a protective miniature cist.
The second monument comprises a slab-lined cist, with internal dimensions of 1.2m by 1m, covered by a rectangular capstone. The kerb, comprised of upright slabs of varying height, forms a slightly flattened circle of diameter 4.2m. The rubble packing inside the kerb suggested a cairn over a bell-shaped core of clay.
