This tomb sits on a little spur that protrudes from the hillside. It is very overgrown with vegetation and hard to see what is what.

The grass was a little shorter this time and so it was easier to see what is what. There's not a great deal to see here. A bit of the boulder kerb is in place and there is a very disrupted passage tomb. It definitely points towards Listoghil, the central cairn.
