Another angle showing the slab-like stone. There’s another one lying flat on the ground beside it and there’s limestone pavement in the area. I’ve a suspicion that these may be the remaining stones from a portal tomb, a stream flowing just 50 metres to the west.

About half a kilometre north of the passage tomb is this slab-like standing stone.
