The remains were a welcome surprise at this not very often mentioned site.

There’s quite a lot still remaining. This is the backstone of the three-chambered gallery. The cairn itself, quite a bit of which remains, is over double the length of the gallery.

Side-on, looking north over the entrance and the first of three chambers in the gallery.

Face on at the entrance. This is one of the few court tombs that still has any of its roofstones in situ, even though this one has partially collapsed into the chamber just behind the entrance. (Paulie is keeping the hungry heifers at bay to the left in this shot).

There’s only one stone remaining from the court, on the northern arm.
