Nestled in a little grove at the junction of several fields and situated on the top of a low rise this tomb is actually unclassified and could be anything. There is a jumble of stones, cairn remains and possible kerb stones, all of which lay scattered about.

It is not possible to calculate any alignment or shape from the layout of the stones. There is, however, the most marvelous stone (the largest on the site) that may have been a lintel or a portal stone. This stone has raised veins of quartz running over its surface.
