Sadly this tomb was destoryed in fairly recent times. The farmer wanted to rearrange a hedgerow. Sadly no one had ever told him that there was a tomb hidden within it. He didn't realise there was something there until it was too late.

A couple of the stones from the tomb can still be seen in the hedge, most notable a fine pointed one which was probably the backstone of the gallery.
