Sunday, 1st June 2003

There is hardly anything left of this tomb. pathetic remains of either a small wedge tomb of a court tomb sub-chamber occupy a spot on a rise above a marshy field.

It is possible that what I think is the tomb here isn't actually it and the two set stones down by the marsh are the equally pathetic remains of a portal tomb.

Ok. That's enough tombs for today. I'm off to look at some sweathouses.
