This is a view of the chamber from above, from the promontary of Works Carn itself. It is quite difficult to get access this site owing to high growth of gorse, brambles and bracken.
The circular kerb around the grave is almost complete, and can be seen particularly well on the right of the picture. Two of five capstones are still in place.

The oval entrance grave is a chambered cairn revetted by an almost complete kerb of huge orthostats of which 21 are visible. Impressive!

The chamber extends for most of the length of the grave. The sides are slabs set on edge with some stone walling.
