Conical in shape measuring 15 meters in diameter and 5 meters tall and had five chambers either side of a corridor covered with a corbel vault. The entire tomb was enclosed with heaped stones. The chambers contained a variety of objects: shards of pottery, polished flint daggers and axes and pendants carved from a type of green stone. (Information taken from a guide book in the castle)
