It's odd arriving at a site and being told that you're the first person to visit it in 4 or 5 years. I have had my eye on this site for a while, but only because of my small obsession with visiting every portal tomb.
This one is very ruined. The three slabs forming the 2m x 1m chamber and one of the portal stones is all that remains. It is impossible to get any idea of the site really as it is in a very wooded area with all views obscured by trees. There isn't enough room around the monument to really get a good look at it either.
The tomb is just a few metres into the trees and from the edge of them it is possible to see what's around the site. To the southeast is a low-lying meadow which could once have had a stream running through it. The entrance to the chamber faces east as you would expect in a portal tomb.
