Located in rough pasture on top of a small headland, with sea-cliffs c. 70m to the E and c. 180m to the S. This is a gallery (L 3.95m) of two chambers with two portal-stones and a septal-stone opening to the W where there is a court (Wth 5.5m) represented by four stones. It was excavated by T.G.E. Powell (1938). The chambers had been disturbed but fragments of cremated bone, two pottery vessels, one of which was decorated, and flint flakes were recovered.
