Starting with this site the day just gets better as it goes on. Although this is quite damaged, with a track running through the cairn, it is still a fine site mainly because of its feeling of remoteness. However, there is a lot of new bungaloid dwellings going up locally, one of which is visible from the tomb. Yuch!
The remains of the main gallery is 5m long and divided by jambs. Its rear seems to have been truncated by the track. This is at the eastern end of the 20m+ long cairn.
There are a few stones remaining from the court in front of this gallery and another chamber lies to the west. This could be a second full gallery indicating that this was a full court tomb with opposing galleries or, more likely, it could be a subsidiary chamber that was built into the arms of a full court near to its entrance.
