The excavation pit containing the chamber is visible left of pictures' centre. Except for one kerb-stone (and some fragments) all megaliths supporting the nowadays eroded earthwork are robbed, but hollows and ditches are left from the extraction (probably in the early 19th century, when most megalithic tombs were abused as quarries) and the remaining earthwork still is impressive especially in the SW where the chamber is located.
