Everything apart from the capstone seems to be here, but the stones are of such odd proportions that it just doesn't seem right. Every one is big and bulky and has bits sticking out, making it look very odd.
The monument points roughly eastwards towards Knocknarea, but it is built on the far side of a low hill which completely cuts out this line of sight. In a field on the opposite side of the road is a large pointed boulder which is sitting on the axis of the tomb. Curious.
The sea is just visible to the north through a small gap.
