I was told of a friend about this burial cist just next to his childhood home. The cist was discovered when they constructed the nearby road and the road was laid next to the cist instead of straight trough it which would have destroyed the burial chamber. He told me they used to play in it when they were children, but no artifacts have been discovered in it.
The cist is around 3 metres in length and around 1.5 metres wide. It is built of huge stone slabs, two made up the floor, four making the long walls and two the short walls. The cover slab have been lost. Right next to the cist is a modern made wall, and most of the cist is in a private garden.
