Unusually for a portal tomb this one occupies a spot on the top of a ridge at its western end, but, being coastal, it is only 75m above sea level. It stands next to a hefty, yet low rocky outcrop. The The ground below is rather marshy and may once have had a stream, otherwise the water association with this tomb is rather Welsh being a view of the sea.
Only three stones remain, which are probably one portal stone, a wall stone and the backstone. All these lean together giving you the impression that they are conspiring against you as you approach. This arrangement would mean that the tomb was aligned east-west with the entrance facing east. The stones are all about 1.6m tall.
