It was raining by now, so I decided to head home and try to finally get to this tomb. I have driven past many times, but it's always been late at night. This time it was geeting dark, but I stopped off anyway.
The capatone of this tomb is a monster. A big, flat slab 3m square. Not surprisingly the chamber has collapsed under its weight, leaving one end resting on the ground and the front resting against the back of the two portal stones. There is one of the side stones from the chamber lying twisted below the capstone.
Unusually, unless the capstone somehow tipped forward, this tomb faces northwest.
The portal stones are each over 2m tall. With a capstone this big it would have been a very impressive structure when whole.
