The dimensions of the chamber are 1.60m east-west by a preserved length of 1.40m north-south. The walls were preserved to a height of 0.065m, and the grave was full of broken bedrock with a little soft brown silt around the bones. The broken bedrock plus the presence of more than one burial is certain indication of a chamber tomb rather than a pit grave.
