The tomb seen from the north.


In a pasture field, 25 metres from the cattle gate, there's this wedge tomb made of 5 intact stone slabs, like a box. The capstone is 50 centimetres thick. It's 2.90 metres long, 2.10 metres wide and 1.40 metres tall. The entrance is perfectly aligned to the west.

UPDATE: June 4th, 2010 - We returned to this tomb to take some new photographs.
