This is pretty much inaccessible unless you're willing to climb ancient stone walls protected by thistle and other assorted greenery. You can see it from behind the wall and it's interesting but we didn't want to disturb the Barren so we stayed behind the stone and suggest you do the same.

Super neat wedge tomb although you do have to go into what appears to be a private field, over a stone fence, to get close to it. Careful since the stone fence is precarious! But all said it was worth it to get some great pictures up close of a 5000 year old structure
