As I first approached this site it was evident that it was embedded in a field hedge, which didn't bode well. Such sites are usually very damaged or very difficult to see properly. However, when I finally found the right field I was very relieved to see that the monument is actually free-standing and not in the hedge.
From the gate it looked as if it was just a pile of earth and that there is nothing much to see. This couldn't be further from the truth. Within this narrow mound there is a narrow chamber that has a single roofstone. Access to the gallery is via a narrow opening at one end.
The 3m long, 1m wide gallery is mostly covered with just the opening and one small section of the wall exposed. In this exposed area there is a small gap between the top of the orthostat and the roofstone. There is a small chocking stone in this gap to help keep the roofstone level.
