On open, level karst which slopes slightly downwards towards the W. This wedge-shaped tomb (L c. 4m NNE-SSW; Wth c. 2.5m WNW-ESE) is oriented towards the SSW where a large, upright ‘closing’ slab (L 2.1m; H 1.2m) - damaged at its S end – is flanked by a narrower (L 0.6m) but slightly taller slab immediately to its S. The northern side of the tomb chamber is defined by four, non-contiguous, upright slabs (L 0.6-0.75m; H 0.3-0.4m). At their western end, a fifth upright slab (L 0.7; H 0.6m) stands slightly N of their line. The eastern end of the chamber is defined by a ‘backstone’ (L 1.3m; H 0.65m) which leans slightly outwards, towards the E. The southern side of the chamber is poorest preserved and only one sidestone ((L 1m; H 0.6m) is visible, at its western end. Within the chamber’s interior are three large slabs (L 1.1-2.6m; Wth 1.4-1.8m): all slope towards the NW which suggests that they are displaced roof slabs which have slipped into the interior from the southern side of the tomb. A low, grass-covered bank abuts the eastern and northern sides of the tomb. See attached images: CL011-005----_01.jpg View of tomb from WSW. CL011-005----_02.jpg View of tomb from E.
