Just as I got here it started to really rain hard and the walk across the muddy field did not look too inviting, so the pictures are taken from the road and not ver good. Nor can I describe the site all that well.

There seems to be a long passage and quite a few kerb stones in place. I think it may be a better option to walk around the fields to the back, which would give you a chance to look down upon it.

Not the right time of year to visit, because it's totally hidden by bracken and other plants. A few stones rise above it, but even going into the field above and looking down on it didn't help.

I feel quite bad that, for the moment, I can add nothing extra about this site from this visit.
