There is absolutely nothing left of this monument apart from scattered stones.

It is interesting to note that all the tombs here seem to have one of two landscape features as a focus. Just above this tomb a large rock stands proud of the false horizon on a rocky outcrop and on the hillside opposite there may be a recumbent figure the head of which could well be artificial.
