This is a great place. The tomb is not only interesting, but the views are fantastic - I stayed here for quite some time, taking in the view and regaining some composure after being made all morbid at the deserted village below. It's amazing how an extensive vista on a sunny day can move me in ways I can't describe.
The tomb is aligned north-south, with the gallery at the south end. This is around 3m long and split into two chambers. One massive roofstone covers the rear end of this and makes a great seat from which to take in the view.
The court is a full one with what appear to be two stones set radially forming and entrance. These are opposite the entrance to the gallery.
To reach this site it is not necessary to take a route across the mountainside from the village (as I did), you can access it via a steep path from the road below. It is signposted. Just keep walking straight up after the track appears to end.
