What a weird site. It is located on an open expanse of peat bog in a deep cutting. The two meter high walls of peat that surround it prevent you getting any idea of what views the site may have. I was further hindered today by driving rain giving almost zero visibility - I'm amazed I found the tomb.
When you do reach it you are confronted with a long, heather-covered mound with several stones poking out of it. It is alined roughly southwest-northeast with the court to the northeast. This probably faces the peak of Benauglin, but I couldn't see it today.
To the front of the mound there are two angled slabs that represent the court. This would have been shallow and V-shaped. along the north side of the carin the outside of the wall slabs are exposed. The gallery seems to have been filled in with cairn material and walking across the top is quite harardous. At first I thought one hole led into a large space inside, but a photo taken inside the whole just revealed lots of stones.
