This tomb is very ruined and is not really classifiable, but the slabs that remain do hold similarities to other portal tombs in the area, so I'm using that as a guide.

The monument is located on the top of a little knoll not far from the road, but can not be seen from there due to a fairly high wall. Just two large slabs remain one of which lies across a couple of other stones, which may or may not have been part of the structure.
