Looking SW over the portal stones.

The stones lying outside could be
– part of the portal stone arrangement (the left portal is currently double while the right is currently single)
– the remains of a lintel
– blocking stones.

Looking NE.

The chamber sits centrally in an oval cairn. It is probabaly early in Clyde cairn development.

This modest Clyde cairn is much more interesting than the nearby Moss Farm but, because it is surrounded by bracken most of the year with nothing visible above ground, it is probably less visited.
