Another site of which I'd seen many photos and which I've wanted to visit for a long time. This little tomb is very easily reached, but even if it wasn't then its state of preservation would warrant a very long walk to see it.
The gallery is only 3m long and formed by two orthostats on either side. The wedge shape of the tomb can be very clearly seen in these. Two roof stones completely cover the gallery, one of which is now supported by a steel bar, which I didn't actually see until my flash highlighted it.
The facade is still present either side of the entrance and the whole structure is still covered by its cairn. There has obviously been some renonvation, but it doesn't matter - this tiny tomb is wonderful, especially when seen in the orange glow of a setting sun, which is how I enjoyed it before setting off homeward.
