This court tomb is quite ruined. The 4m gallery is easy to make out, as is the line of the court. Confusion is added to the monument though by a jumble of stone runing along one side that are supposed to be from a souterrain that was inserted into the cairn at a later date.

To one side of the court, at the front edge of the cairn is a mighty stone that looks like an open baseball glove or a half clam shell. When I grow up I want to have a stone like this.
