The mosterous capstone of this portal tomb now rests on the ground with the chamber walls poking out from beneath it. The capstone stands a mighty 2.5m plus tall even on the ground. Before the portal stones were removed (which must have been a hair raising experience) it stood upto 4.5m tall.

It now resembles a large stone in a field and is not really worth going out of your way to see.
