General view from NE looking towards the rear of the monument.
This and the subsequent images were taken in 1996 – it is rather more overgrown now.
View from S. The small kerbstones (roughly 15m diameter) can be seen. The portico is on the left.
Chamber from roughly E. The outer walling of the chamber side stones can be seen as well as, sitting at right angles to the line of the chamber wall, two of the six small buttress stones on this side.
Chamber interior looking from the rear (NE) towards the portico end. The visible end stone completely divides the chamber from the portico. No closing stone was found at the NE end of the chamber.
This was weird.
It was as if there had been a shower of rain and lots of little dolmen shoots started to sprout up.
More minilithic than megalithic.
Trying to show here how little of the chamber stones supports the massive capstone but the effect for the stone in the centre is somewhat masked by the trees in the background.

From the NW.
The two outliers nearest and on either side of the circle can be seen.
From SW.
You can see the entrance stones in the centre of the arc and one of the southerly outliers on the right.
