Now snug against a hedgerow this tomb is a low, flat mound surrounded by a kerb, some 12m in diameter, made of huge round boulders.

33 boulders make up this impressive circle, but there is no sign of an internal chamber now visible. The tomb was not excavated when several others nearby were and so it is not known if any traces lie beneath the surface of the mound that mow fills the central area.
