What an unexpected treasure! Looking from the track it appears that the site must be covered in overgrowth - gorse and brambles etc, but in reality it is simple hidden in bracken. Well, it was hidden in bracken! I spent 10 minutes or so clearing the area so that I could see it properly.
The gallery is fairly ruinous, but still quite well defined. Standing on opposite sides of the gallery are two halves of a split boulder. Leaning against these, across the east-west line of the gallery is a displaced roofstone. On the north side there are hints of double walling.
The whole monument seems to have been built on top of a rectangular platform of rocks, presumably the remains of the cairn. This is a quiet spot and a pleasant place to sit for a while listening to the sound of the babbling stream 20m to the west.
