Despite being interupted by a field wall this site is very nice. The remains of the chamber are small, but in good condition. A single split-boulder capstone rests on three orthostats about 1m tall. There are two more orthostats in front of the chamber, which faces roughly north.
The tomb is situated so that its viewshed falls to the northwest past Benbane Head beyond which lies the Giant's Causeway. The view to Rathlin Island, which lies to the northeast, is obscured by an intervening hill. Knocklayd Mountain to the south is also surprisingly out of sight.
The field wall that runs on a north-south line to the 2m east of the chamber truncates the kerb on that side. Around the west side the kerb is still visible and pokes through the grass by about 30cm.
