If any monument should be given the title 'Pocket Dolmen' then this is it. What a teeny-weeny little thing! It is located to the rear of a farm house next to two conglomerate stones that are larger than the tomb itself.
The chamber is no more than 1m long, 50cm wide and 80cm high. One of the portal stones still stands, but the other is lying to one side. Presumably this was knocked over when the capstone was tipped off. The capstone lies on that side. It would be quite easy to rebuild this little treasure.
There is a small doorstone and the backstone is slightly gabled and slopes forwards, supported by the two diminutive side stones.
