There isn't enough of this one to really say what it is, but its east-west alignment and what does remain does allow a guess at it being the scant remains of a wedge tomb.

Only one wall slab remains standing. This is on the north side. Two fallen wall slabs lie below a huge slab which occupies the floor of the gallery. This was presumably a roof slab.
