This tomb looks like a baby portal tomb and stands at the roadside to the east of a t-junction. It consists of just the chamber now, but it still retains its rounded roof stone supported by several orthostats, one of which protrudes from under the roof stone.

There is no kerb or other indication of the size of the complete monument.

Rushing about in the rain on my previous visit I didn't really look at this tomb - it was a quick hop over the style, take a few photos and back in the car. This time I had a good wander around it. It really does look like a crawling hermit crab from the west.
