The wedge-tomb is incorporated in a field wall which abuts it at E and W. It consists of a gallery, 5.5m in overall length and averaging about 1.1m wide, orientated E-W. The N side of the gallery is represented by five stones and the S side by six stones with the more westerly of these set in advance of the septal stone. Du Noyer's sketch of the tomb (1866; see attached) shows a stone lying in a sloping position immediately E of the gallery. This is probably a fallen S sidestone; no trace of it survives. The gallery which is covered by four roofstones, decreases in height from W to E. Outer walling is represented at the N by one stone and at the S by four stones. Eight low buttress stones, set at right angles to the gallery wall, are exposed along the S side. A tree growing at the E end of the gallery fell over around the year 2000 and in the process dislodged the E sidestone which is now almost prostrate. The corresponding roofstones above it likewise have been displaced (local information).
