If this tomb was cleared and had the endangering trees cleared from around it then it would be a lovely example.
Its 7m long, 1.4m wide gallery is crammed in between two tightly spaced rows of trees, the roots of which are starting to push the walls in. The west end of the chamber is full of needles, but this deposit thins towrds the east where in goes to a depth of 1.5m.
Standing in this depression the tallest stone is as tall as me - over 1.85m high.
With a little care and clearing this would be extremely visitable.
