In the tiny village of Malin More there's a wonderful alignment of portal tombs and a pair of standing stones over a quite straight line 175 metres long, on a roughly east to west axis.
I started with the large portal tomb at the east end of the alignment and I have numbered the monuments from 1 to 9. It has been speculated that monuments from 1 to 6 might have been joined and covered by a giant straight cairn.
This is the portal tomb number 3 in the alignment. A small cairn covered in grass is visible. It is possible to make out the outline of the kerb. The capstone has collapsed to a side towards northeast, a chamber is visible underneath it. The tallest point of the tomb is an edge of the capstone at 82 centimetres from the ground.
