It is hard to know sometimes if a 600m walk with quite a steep ascent is worth the effort. In my type of quest the answer is always yes, but to know whether to recommend it to others is sometimes tricky. With this site though I can definitely say that it is.
Not only is the wedge tomb (and nearby portal tomb remains) well worth seeing, but the scenic panorama that awaits is worth the energy in itself.
The chamber of this little wedge was covered by a single slab measuring 3m x 2m, which has now collapsed on one side. The top of this slab is a wonder of weathering. At the front it is possible to make out the stones just peeking through the soil that would have defined a very shallow portico with a possible sill stone just inside. It is possible that the entrance was split in two as the remaining sill stone is just under half width.
On the side where the walls still stand it is also possible to see evidence of the double walling.
