The tomb consists of a single large capstone that rests on two portal stones and two orthostats, and is situtated on a central oval cairns approximately 7m in diameter. A second large limestone slab; now positioned at the base of the tomb, could have originally be positioned beneath the main slab, and subsequently collapsed to its current location.
