This tomb seems quite ruined when you first approach, but it does get better when you climb the drumlin that it sits on. The court is missing completely, but the entrance jambs are still in situ. The east facing entrance is a little bit confusing at first until you realise that the lintel has fallen into the gap. Resting against the back of these three stones is a massive roof stone, the base of which is in the gallery. This is over 2m square.
The stones forming the 5m long gallery seems oddly out of proportion with the entrance, because they are all very low. The gallery is segmented into two chambers by small jambs.
To the rear of the gallery are two subsidiary chambers set into either side of what would have been the cairn, none of which remain. These sub-chambers are 1.2m wide and 1.5m deep, with a 1m gap between their backstones.
