In a commanding position atop a knoll, this ruined wedge-tomb
(here viewed from the front in two photographs some thirty years apart)
retains two massive roof-stones, but of the facade only the door-stone remains.



Surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills, the tomb has a gallery 11 metres long
(here seen from the south). The entrance is at the left. The measuring-rod is one metre high.
