From the rear of the chamber (looking E).
The N portal stone between the two chamber compartments can be seen. The S one is under the tree!
The rear compartment of the two-compartment chamber.
A portal stone at bottom centre. The tilted backstone would be 2.1m high when upright.
From W showing lintels between
- the two compartments of the chamber (foreground) and
- the chamber and passage (background).
From NW.
What looks like the sidestones and backstone of a chamber.
The stone on the right is 2m high.
From NE. Suggestions of a passage and portal stones in the foreground.
Fallen lintel in the centre.
This view looking NW shows the features of a typical Orkney-Cromarty passage and chamber.
In the foreground are the portal stones marking the end of the passage where it meets the cairn edge. Next up are the portals separating the passage from the two-compartment chamber then the portals dividing the chamber into two compartments on which a lintel (now fallen) rested. The backstone of the chamber has fallen inwards and can be seen just behind the lintel.
The lintel which sat on the portal stones separating the two compartments of the chamber. It looks as if it has been worked at either end to sit more securely on the portals.
