The eastern end of the possible 5 capstone chamber is almost completely robbed and destroyed (only a large and a smaller megalithic fragments remained), while the western half is partly preserved.
In situ are 4 orthostats: the western chamber endstone (W), three orthostats of the southern long-side (S1, fragment of S2 and S3). N3 is slightly out of place (tilted towards the north). Three stones marked (X) could not be attributed. The westernmost capstone (C1) is moved to the North and its neighbour C2 turned and collapsed into the chamber as its northern support is robbed. The other capstones are missing. There are more megalithic stones probably originating from the tomb moved towards the outside of the oval barrow, esp. to the SW of it. Delightful ambience, but many ticks around here.
