A 3 m by 2 m capstone sits on what appears to be two side stones and a back stone, with the entrance looking to the north. The stones sit in a little 7 metre diameter mound of stones, and in fact the chamber is full also. It has obviously had a restoration job done on it, but they probably didn't have much to work with, so have just tidied it all up a bit.
