Everything is here - it's just not all in the right place. The chamber has collapsed and only one portal stone comes close to standing. This has split down its length in a very impreesive way, making the stone look fragile - no wonder it collapsed.
The capstone is almost a round flat disk that now rests on top of the other stones. Behind the tomb is a large slab, which I believe is probably the remains of a second tomb.
The tomb points along a broad, shallow valley in which there appears to be a large conical mound, slightly offset from the centre, but apparently inline with the axis of the tomb.
It is now rather crowded out by a nearby concrete cattle-crush/sheep-pen thing, which is just 10m away, but if you face up the valley then just a bit of barbed wire fencing and a few sheep (which were staring at me in a very funny manner) are all that there is to remind you of man's modern presence up here.
