Short Description:
stone lining to south of possible burial in Tr2 E
Issued to
2137

Interpretation

    • Only exposed in plan in 2021. Seems most likely to be stone lining to a burial, there is a parallel run of stones to the N about a predicted grave width apart. Green porphyry was found near the stones, so it is thought that this could be a shrine burial.
