A beautiful wedge tomb. The only thing that goes against it is the fact that the capstones are scattered around it rather than being in situ.

It is possible to clearly see the double lining of the chamber and the kerb stones are clearly visible.

The chamber is about 1.2m wide, 3.5m long and the walls are about 80cm tall. The whole thing is just 4m wide by 5m long.
