island wedge tomb

A neat example of a wedge-tomb; it was excavated in 1957. The long rectangular burial chamber has two tall stones marking the entrance and was surrounded by a double row of stones placed in the shape of a U.

The tomb was covered by a mound of stones, the edges of which were marked by small standing stones.
The entrance facade of the tomb was straight, and in front of it lay a semicircular arrangement of stones. Some burned bones were found during the excavations.
