Association

This cromlech is located 0.87km south of Korbulag village in a small basin SW of Ap BC 2 (map quad B5o).

Topography

This isolated burial was found on the northern edge of a small basin running between irregular low bedrock outcrops.

General Description

Although not associated with any other burials, this cromlech is one of the larger recorded on our survey. It is 11.5m in diameter east-west and 12.6m in diameter north-south. The burial is made of roughly worked medium sized basalt blocks (generally about 50x50cm) surrounding a stone and rubble interior. Small cobbles are particularly dense on the east side of the construction indicating some disturbance. At the center, the ground surface is slightly depressed, suggesting either a slumped burial chamber or looting activity.

Features & Materials

No surface materials, but the size and morphology of the burial suggests it should be dated either to the Middle Bronze Age or the early Late Bronze Age.
