Yet another ruined wedge tomb in the fertile, heavily-farmed area around 1367. The tomb is hidden away beneath tall trees at the junction of two field walls. The gallery is ruined, but does have two rounded displaced roofstones. On the western side there are a couple of stones that were probably part of the double walling.
