In a small pasture field by the road the ruinous condition of this tomb makes it difficult to identify its type with any great certainty. Two low uprights stand next to a jumble of fallen stones and are "joined" at their ends by a shot slab placed on edge. A further pointed (probably broken in half) stone stands some way off from the chamber. Superficially this seems like a wedge tomb but, if so, the size of the stones are unusually small and it may therefore be a portal dolmen.
