Description Aerial view of the chamber. It is located near long-barrows' SW end. The orthostats are preserved in situ, but only one out of 4 chamber-capstones remained. Lateral entrance between the third and the north-easternmost orthostat of the south-eastern longside. Two passage orthostats are preserved in situ as well as the entrance stone. The clear chamber size was determined as 5m x 1,5m x 1,5m.

Thank you very much Holger. But probably I should have taken this photo in wintertime when the fern is not hiding the entrance stone. At least the repaired crack in the capstone is visible.
