This is a really interesting wedge tomb. The gallery is around 5m long, 1m wide and has good double walling on both sides. At first sight it looks very messy, but closer inspection reveals that this is just because so much of the structure is present and because the gallery is still set into some cairn material.
The tomb has been built 20m from the edge of a low rise and it seems that the cairn may have extended to the edge, which would make this a massive monument. In the field below there is a low circular feature about 40m in diameter with a small standing stone inside. Field walls to the north and east probably used up a lot of the cairn material from those sides.
