A falling roofstone, dangling over the eastern end of the chamber – note the quarrying marks on the bottom curve – I thought these may be modern.

The court tomb... overshadowed by one of the finest dolmens in the Isles... or is it?

Looking E from the W end of the gallery.
The backstone and the lintel can be seen.
Viewed from the court area.
The two entrance jambs can be seen with the fallen lintel in front of them.
There are two court stones going off to the right.

Situated close to its much better known portal namesake, the best surviving part of the court tomb is the 6m long gallery running W from two entrance jambs to a backstone – all 1.8m high. The side stones are lower.
Two lintels survive – one, slightly displaced, across the gallery and the other fallen and lying in front of the entrance jambs.
Two stones from the NE arm of the court adjoin the N entrance jamb.
