This tomb has sadly collapsed. There is an entrance and a very low, very unstable looking passage, but the chamber seems to have gone - filled in with cairn material.

The entrance to this one really does remind me of a mine entrance. I don't know what it is about it, but it does. The passage points somewhere past Kesh into the Ox Mountains.

It is such a shame that you can't really get inside. It is far too low.
