This pretty little wedge tomb is a terrible one to find as it lies on the other side of a dry stone wall from the usual approach, under a tree.
It measures about 5 m in diameter and still has many kerb stones in place, but the cairn stone infill has mainly disappeared.
The single walled chamber is 'L' shaped (or possibly two connecting chambers at 90 degrees) and none of the roof stones remain.
When I visited someone had made a little camp out of the chamber by places branches across the orthostats and covering them with bracken.
Could I find this again? Could I heck! It took me ages. I felt a right fool to be honest. Anyway, we managed it eventually and finally put to rest the issue of the L-shaped chamber mystery.
The tomb has triple walling that is exceptionally wide apart - upto 80cm between each 'layer'. To the rear on of the side stones is missing from the inner wall and the wide gap to the middle wall looks like part of the chamber. Problem solved - it's just a wedge with big gaps between its walling.
