The entrance to the
terminal chamber.
The terminal chamber is comprised of four large orthostatic slabs and a roof
slab, its proportions put us in mind of
a megalithic telephone box. Note the front slab of the chamber, this only has
contact on the base and the south edge,
it is not load bearing. The broken quern seen in the foreground was originally
underneath the front slab, the quern was
inverted and it is thought that it was used as a pivot to allow for the
fine positioning of the front slab.
A small standing stone, or "betyle" is visible within the terminal
chamber, one of four discovered
inside the passage grave, as with the others, it occupies a location with very
restricted visiblity.
