Visited 12.3.11 As I was in the area visiting Coity Castle (CADW site - free entry) I thought I would pop along to revisit Coity Chambered Tomb. When I lat visited I was still new to all this and when I saw the locked gate with the 'private property' notice across it I settled for a view from the hedge. Being a bit more experienced, I ignored the sign, hopped over the gate and stepped over the stone stile immediately after the gate on the left. This gives easy access to the field and a two minute walk takes you to the chamber. The capstone is about 5ft square and 1ft thick. Several large stones are underneath and another which seems to have been built into the field wall. It was a lovely sunny day and the first time this year I have been able to walk across a dry field! There were primroses in abundance - very pretty. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

As a small aside to the notes given by Hamish, if you don't want to enter the field without permission, the tomb is just visible from the gate if you look to your right along the hedgerow. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

You come past the castle bearing round to the right. After about 1 km there is a lane on the left. Find somewhere to park and walk up the lane to a gate. Follow the path on the left to another gate. A few mtrs past the gate is a stile on the left. Go over and turn right along the hedge tro the burial chamber. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

I visited this site and met the landownerand he told me that it was his grandfather who had collapsed it as it was "very dangerous". He also told me that a ground radar survey had been done in the field adjacent to the tomb and a semi-circular or crescent shape had been recorded for "Future investigation" Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
