At the E end of the summit of Milane Hill with fine views over lowlands to the E. The ground rises to the WSW to the summit of the hill where wind turbines stand (erected in 2000). Only the W section of the gallery is exposed together with a single endstone (either a backstone or kerb) at the E of the monument. The total length of the monument to the endstone is 4.4m. Exposed stones indicate a gallery length of at least 2.3m. The gallery (Wth 1.07m at W, narrowing to 0.77m at the estimated centre) is aligned WSW-ENE and the W section is represented on each side by two sidestones and three outer-wall stones; the stones decrease in height from W to E. The W two outer-wall stones flanking the entrance are higher than their corresponding gallery sidestones. Cutway bog to the E of the monument is partly responsible for exposing the E endstone.
