Both sidestones of the chamber are collapsing inwards – the gabled backstone, tilting to the left in this shot, is also falling inwards.

This is the front of the tomb, the capstone having fallen forward. The environment has changed drastically since Bogman’s and Greywether’s visits, the field now an overgrown bog.
