The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the garden of a modern bungalow. Not indicated on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps. This is said to be the site of a megalithic tomb, however, there is no substantiated description of the structure on record. According to local information, there was ‘a mound of clay between stones’ which was located in a shallow dip or hollow. No visible trace.
