Taversoe Tuick

The eastern cell of the upper chamber.
This cell has a "horseshoe" shaped plan, a short passage leads to the two portal slabs that are almost buried in the masonry on their fronts.
The passage section is floored by the second eastern lintel and the passage by the eastern lintel, differences in the thickness of these two slabs
result in the chamber floor being much lower than the main chamber and passage floors. Grant discovered that the discrepancy had been made up
by using a layer of clay on the chamber floor.
