Portalled 'A' dolmen in very good condition. Subrectangular chamber formed by 6 or 7 orthostats partially support a massive capstone 2.2 x 2.8m and 1m thick. Two orthostats stand on the south-east, both about 1.9m in height from floor of chamber - both are 0.8 x 0.5m at base. Capstone has fallen on the north-east side but south-west side still well supported. Interior a little eroded by sheep which use it as a shelter. (Smith, 2002)
