Looking east towards Culla More where there’s another court tomb. It’s hard to make anything out here.

What’s described as a flanker of the court at bottom right. An entrance jamb maybe?

There’s a couple of plans of this site on the NISMR and combined with the note there, I was expecting something of substance. Alas, what does remain now is almost totally overgrown, even now in January, and impossible to interpret, except for the most southerly stone, said to be a flanker of the south-facing court. Despite that, it was worth coming here, it being one of those barren, wrecked sites that tugs at the heartstrings that you come across regularly and are glad to bear witness to, in the midst of seemingly wilful neglect and ignorance.
