I only recently found out about this site a short while ago and I was immediately inspired to come and see it. This east-west aligned wedge tomb is just 100m from a road junction in the middle of a good field.
Verging on being complete, this monument has two large slabs forming the roof. These rest upon a set of wall-stones that decrease in height and showing the classic 'wedge' profile that gives the genre its name. There is also good double walling set very closely to the inner walls. At the front (west) end two fine fa?ßade slabs form an entrance into the 1.4m wide, 3m long gallery.
The field level around it has dropped, probably through ploughing, making the tomb stand on a little platform. I would imagine that on a dewey summer's morning the site of this hovering above the field in a fine mist would be quite special.
The condition of this monument is so good that I am surprised that it is not a National Monument. It certainly should be. However, this would mean that it would end up with a little fence around it and no really good views of it, so perhaps it is best left as it is.
