Like the nearby wedge tomb this is a ruinous monument. It sits on a rise and is now incorporated into a field wall. Two stones can be seen in situ - a portal stone and a side stone from the chamber. Another stone similar to the latter is leaning against a nearby wall. Just below the remains there is an outhouse and a cottage.
