Many of the structural stones have been removed, but it is impressive even so. There are two large entrance stones, and some side slabs remaining in the front section of the gallery.
The rear of the tomb is far more imposing with two large (but broken) roof slabs in place, the larger being over 2 metres square. Around the rear wall slabs there are a few small stones which may be very diminutive or vestigial double walling. Other stones 3 metres or so from the rear of the gallery may be the remains of the kerb.
