bloggersgrech visited on 10th Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 The chambers are in a row, on a narrow strip of land between houses and a fenced off field (which contains inquisitive goats). As for its condition, I'm not sufficiently qualified to say whether it's a 3 or a 4. Looks pretty good to me though. Photography is a little difficult due to the proximity of the houses, a fence, overhead lines, and an ill-placed sign, right in front of one chamber.
Views to the rear are blocked by the outcrop known as Garn Wen (beware of deep fissures in the outcrop). A fourth chamber may be present a few metres to the north but as many of nine are reported early in the 20th century. Access is freely available.
