I know for a fact that this is a very good example of a wedge tomb, but sadly the field has lambs in it at the moment so I couldn't enter and take a closer look. I had to be satisfied with looking at the rear of it from the road.
The gallery still has a single roofslab covering it and two stones which stand proud of the roof in front of it. The monument faces southeast down a long valley with some spectacular views.
In the field behind the tomb there are two stones that I could only describe as 'standing slabs'. These could be standing stones or possibly from some almost-completely robbed away tombs.
There are two other wedge tombs within 200m of this site, but these are quite ruined (again I couldn't access these and they aren't visible from the road.)
I will be back to see this site in the summer, when I can hopefully get a closer look.

Although these tombs are just 300m from a main road they do require using an OS map to locate them. Due to the amount of twists and turns in the mountain roads directions would be impossible to write down.
