After knocking on the farmhouse door and getting directions to the tomb I set off and failed to find it. Well, at least straight away. At first I found some rocks that could have been a tomb, but did not match the farmers description. Had I not talked to him I would happily accepted that this was it and left. So, knowing different, I scoured the hedgerows and eventually found what I was looking for, just 20m away.
The only really easy to spot feature seems to be part of a chamber that could have been a subsidary chamber between two galleries, of which traces can be seen. There is definitely a court at the northern end, but the south is very badly damaged and the stones there could just be a broken kerb.
The little box chamber is just 1.2m cubic and has just three sides and no roof. The north court would have been 4m wide and 3m deep. The other stones do not really stand much over 60cm tall. As with many of these 'in a hedge' sites the trees stop you from really judging what is going on and exactly what stone occupies which position. Where's my chainsaw?
