View along the 7 capstone passage-graves' SW longside. A stone visible to the left of the chamber probably is a remaining passage orthostat. The 12,65m by 3,30m [1] chamber is halfway embedded into the sandy ground. As in most cases only the megalithic skeleton remained. Drywalling, barrow and a possible enclosure are lost.

Taken in August 2010

Thanks for your kind comment Captain. Pleasing to the ear ;) D53 and D54 are very popular sites and attract many visitors, but after sunset the ambience was excellent.
