At some point I had scribbled on my map that this was a good portal tomb, but I am not sure where I got that information from. Anyway, regardless of where it came from I think it is very wrong. I can not see these remains representing a portal tomb, but the site is very overgrown and so something may well be hidden away.
What is visible is a pile of rocks beneath the trees on one side and a small open-topped chamber on the other, formed by 5 orthostats each no more than 1m high. At the north end of this confusion of rocks is another chamber, which has a roof stone still in place. Both of these chambers seem to be aligned east-west.
