Another angle of the court. The place is a mess.

Three possible gallery/chamber stones, the middle being the only one still standing.

Another arrangement of stones, further confusing the photographer – they’re about 40 metres away from the ‘court’.

Once again, possibly a shallow court and entrance.

Perplexing remains – I think the setting on the right is a very shallow entrance court.

Utterly neglected site, there’d be very little to see here in summer.

I uncovered this quartz-faced stone. It’s in a line of three stones, the only one of which is still in its original position is the stone furthest away in this shot. I had thought they might have been kerbstones of a covering cairn, but there’s a socketed stone even further out from the main structure, squashing my theory.

Whatever the original layout of the tomb, this one would have been enormous.
