When I last looked for this tomb I just peered over the hedge from the road below and (for some reason) assumed that it was in a clump of trees, which are in fact just behind the monument.

There's herdly anything left. A sad capstone rests on two orthostats (one wallslab and the backstone). These are set into a considerable amount of cairn material, which forms a natural looking bump in the field.

The tomb is built into a south facing slaope and appears to point southwest, but the scant remains aren't really good enough to be sure.
