Photos of this tomb have intigued me for a long time and to finally get to visit it is a treat. My first impressions? 1) It's very well looked after. 2) It's a lot smaller than I'd thought it was going to be. 3) That doesn't matter - it's lovely!

The 5m long, partly roofed gallery is fronted by tall slabs that make me think of Anubis with his large pointy jackal ears.

The cairn is U-shaped with a kerb of small stones. Within the outer kerb is an second inner kerb that echoes the same U-shape. In front of the gallery the ends of this inner kerb are joined by a shallow arc of stones that seem to act as a boundary to separate the inner sanctum from the outside world.

The tomb was excavated in 1957 and has been in state care ever since. It's remarkably clean state is a fine testament to those that care for it. If only all tomb were this well looked after.

Once again another excuse to try out the wide-angle lens. Fantastic. I think I'm going to enjoy using this. The prettiness of this tomb is very striking with a mid morning light across it. I think the best time to visit must be around 1pm, when the light strikes the front at an angle.

A word of caution. Don't approach this site from the south: the track is evil!
