Craggy, flaked inset dividing jambstone of the southern side of the tomb.

Looking north – right to left: southern entrance jamb; collapsing entrance lintel; sidestone of the first chamber.

Looking slightly north of west – the stone in the foreground is the southern entrance jamb.

The stone in the foreground is the northern sidestone of the first, eastern chamber – on its right, they left the tree stumps in place as they are stopping the entrance lintel from collapsing into the chamber.

The lintel has fallen from the entrance jambstones and is being held up by a combination of the southern sidestone of the first chamber and three tree stumps.

Looking kind of east-north-east over the gabled backstone.

Looking north – the southern sidestone of the rear chamber is missing.

Looking north-west at the east-facing facade.

First encounter – the pile to the left is logs.
