Classifying this as a wedge tomb is a guess because the remains are so scant that it really is hard to tell. Sitting in the midst of a golf course access is risky to say the least, but the course owner is happy to let you do so at your own peril.

All that really remains are the outline of the cairn, which is still slightly raised, and four very fine orthostats which could be the side of a wedge tomb or part of a court.
