It is 2.3m long and 2m wide inside the portal-stones, narrowing to 1.1m at the backstone. The portal-stones, at the NNW, stand 0.75m apart and both are 1.55m high. Both sidestones lean inwards against the portal-stones and backstone. The inward-leaning backstone is 1.25m high. The roofstone measures 1.9m by 1.8m by 0.2m thick.
