This tomb is not marked on the OS map so I thought I'd check it out. I wasn't sure if it was not marked because it was not there anymore or simply because it is right on the join between two maps. It's the latter. However, it's a ruin.
I couldn't get too close due to some moody looking cows that were intent on stopping me, but I could see that the capstone seems to lie on the ground and that no stones stand up above the grass. The capstone seems to be a rounded, possibly split, boulder and a couple of metres across.

This just shows how wrong you can be from a distance. Apparently, the small, well defined chamber still exists and the roofstone has gone! A definite trip back is called for at some time.
