It is unusual to find a court tomb where the gallery is missing, but the court is still there. This is the case here, though. There are one or two stones behind the court that are probably from the gallery, but they aren't guaranteed be in the right place.
The court is in very good condition. It is nearly semi-circular, 5m wide and 3m deep. There are two well matched entranced jambs that sadly lead nowhere now due to the lack of a gallery. An old drystone wall runs up the hill and across the front of the gallery. Depending on the age its age, this wall may cover some façade stones.
The site is on a southeast-facing slope. The axis of the monument runs north-south with the court at the north.
