What is recorded here
No. Of course not. That is the shape of a child's bedroom, not a gallery. A gallery needs a long room, a tall ceiling and a door wide enough for a cart. This has a round chamber thirty metres across, an earthen wall and a small mound on the floor. I will not decorate that or pretend it is a lost exhibition. If you want to see a chamber, go to a real chamber.
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (29.7m N-S) enclosed N->S by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.4m) and defined N->S by scarped edge (H 1.6m; Wth 3.8m). Gap in bank (Wth 1m) at WSW. Level interior under pasture, with a low mound (4m E-W; 2m N-S; H c. 0.25m) just SW of centre.
