This ruined portal tomb is still quite impressive, sitting next to a little brook, nestled amogst a few tall trees in the center of a large open pasture.
The state of ruin is quite advanced: the capstone has slipped and lies on top of one of the wall slabs, a single portal stone still stands (about 2.4 m tall) and the other lies on the ground under some tree roots.
The chamber walls are made of large slabs about 1.2m square and just 20 cm thick, only one of these remains upright.
There is also a ground level sill stone in place at the entrance.

_In the excitement of the day I forgot to ask if we could cross the scout camp and I think was nearly thrown off. Please remember to ask before visiting this tomb for the security of those staying here.
