The partly buried entrance with a pair of passage orthostats as seen from inside the chamber. Well preserved rectangular megalithic chamber except for the capstones which all have been robbed. The remains of the chamber consist of 6 orthostats on the long-sides and one on each narrow side. All are in situ. However the chamber is more than halfways filled with earth/remains of the eroded earthwork.
