Image of Edergole (Court Tomb) by ryaner

This was a nice surprise, embedded into the side of the road, a survivor.

From on top of the northern sidestones of the gallery, looking roughly east. The probably segmented gallery is full of debris.

From the road, the chamber sidestones on the south side of the tomb are now part of the roadside verge. There are two visible here, behind the entrance jambstone. The northern side of the tomb survives better, eventually meeting the roadside verge further to the left of this shot, but that side is very overgrown.

Close-up of the chunky entrance jambs and the rather large lintel gives this a classic dolmen/portal tomb look, but it’s actually a fairly substantial court tomb, minus the court.

Looking south-west. I’m surprised this is not more well known.
