Looking north over the southern corner of the facade. The double-walling on the southern side of the tomb has mostly been robbed out.

Looking front-on at the facade. There were probably 4 stones in the facade originally. One is missing and the one on the right has collapsed under the weight of the roofstone. Behind the facade, the chamber has been filled in with grass covered rubble.

Looking down on the chamber from the double-walling on the northern side. Behind the sycamore that s growing in the chamber is a backstone that has been incorporated into a field fence.

Looking south along the tomb facade. The fallen stone is a facade stone, pushed out by by a probable portico roofstone.

The remaining roofstone from the chamber has slipped off the northern sidestones and now rests in the chamber and across 3 southern sidestones.
