This passage tomb is large! The kerb on the southern side is very well defined. The stones from the kerb are enormous. They are all set on edge and up to 2m long.

The cairn covering the central chamber is very low. So low that the roofstone and part of the chamber and passage are exposed. It's hard to be certain, but the passage may have aligned to the northwest. The mound is 2m high and 20m in diameter.
