If I'd have taken more notice of the photograph I have of this tomb we would have found it a lot easier. After hunting around in the field for a while I turned around and there it was hidden beneath loads of brambles right at the road side.
It is a lovely example of a megalithic kist. It has a roofstone measuring 2.5m x 2.2m that has slipped off the uprights and displaced the back stone slightly. Behind the backstone it is possible to see some of the drystone walling too.
The chamber is about 1m high and 1.4m deep.
To the east it is just possible to see the tops of the stones mentioned in the inventory as possibly being part of a stone circle that may have surrounded the tomb.
