Description

The dolmen is situated near the summit of a hill overlooking Goonhilly Downs. Two orthostats support a capstone; there are depressions on the capstone which may be cup marks, or may be naturally formed.[2]

The chamber enclosed by the stones measures about 4 by 2 metres (13.1 by 6.6 ft), height about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). William Copeland Borlase excavated the chamber in 1872: he discovered a pit about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) deep, and one flint flake.[2]
