In a field to the W of Moneydig crossroads, this small, “degenerate”, passageless passage-tomb is still covered with small cairn-stones and soil to a height of 1.5 metres. The chamber is covered with a single large capstone and is walled by tall slabs fitting very neatly together. A low slab on the NE side marks the entrance.
