TheCaptain visited on 14th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 As soon as I got here this nice quiet place was flooded with people either returning from the beach or a walk along the clifftop. It is superbly positioned in a field about 50 metres from the sea but it’s a shame about the wartime gun emplacement here also. This transepted burial mound has been restored recently and is in fine condition. It consists of a single entrance corridor which faces eastwards on a bearing of 112° with four internal chambers opening up on the sides which are about 2 metres in width and high enough for me to stand up inside. The cairn is very square with sides about 11 metres in length barely bigger than the internal structures and with a nice white quartz stone at the entrance.
