The southernmost monument on the hilltop is a ruined passage tomb. It has an exposed round chamber and a short passage opening to the southwest. A large stone blocks the entrance to the passage.

The chamber is just 1.8m in diameter, while the passage is no more than 1m long. At the rear of the chamber there is a solid quartz orthostat.
