What a beautiful tomb. This long wedge tomb, with a gallery some 6m long, is in fantastic condition, with a complete roof made from 4 large slabs. Some widely set double walling is present, leaning on the south side and incorporated in a wall on the north. The gallery is aligned east-west and there is both an ante-chamber and a portico at the front.

The large slab that separates the gallery from the ante-chamber has a cut away at the bottom. The portico is roofed with an outstanding stone - covered in cup and ring marks, a unique feature on a wedge tomb. Some people doubt that this is rock art, but I am sure that it is; the rings around some of the cups are perfect.

I actually developed a bit of a theory regarding this tomb. I think that it went through two or three stages of development. The building of the gallery and ante-chamber were either the first stage or the first two stages. I think the portico was added later. The stone used to roof this has an unusual step in it, which makes me believe that it was originally a standing stone, set into the ground up to this shoulder (the thicker section has just two cups on it).

Basically, this monument offers all you could want in one spot. I have recently decided to slow myself down a little during my days out. To help me do this I have recently bought some paints and will try (and I mean try) to paint a few of the sites I go to. The location of this tomb is so sylvan that I chose to try and paint this one, but I was bitten to pieces by some seriously nasty bugs! I think some insect repellent is about to join all the other stuff I carry around with me. Great! More stuff to carry.
