Nothing here to recall ancient architecture or raise the megalithic spirits - it's all been landscaped away behind a retaining wall and topped with trees.

The remains of a chamber with three tall backstones can be seen along with some further slabs but the overall layout is not at all clear.

Access was a bit confusing at first as Landranger seems to show a road which isn't there. Anyway park at the Derculich sign and walk up the winding road past the farm to reach the road running NW by the burn. It's on the right of this road.
