Full Description
MY2 (NL56888357) Chamber tomb.
Location: Level bench on slope close to standing stone MY1.
Description: Circular, diam. 1.7 m, holllow mound with large boulders, largest being 1 x 0.9 x 0.15 m.
Note: Could be natural since there is no chamber or other architectural aspect that can substantiate its inclusion in this class of site other than the massive size of the blocks of stone that are lying here, which suggest that some significant monument might have been dismantled.
