This is a very small wedge tomb. In fact it's almost a kist, because there only seems to be a square chamber. It does have double walling though.

The cairn around the chamber is about 15m across, but gorse has established itself over the cairn, so you can't see its limits easily. The waterlogged chamber is just over 1m square and is covered by a single capstone. Outside this you can see the double walling on the north side.
