The gap above the door has been bricked up, and one of the chamber walls has disappeared and the enormous, thin slab that was the capstone now leans against the other chamber wall. Half of the triangular gap formed by this is also bricked up, leaving a little doorway. This is reminiscent of the tombs of the French causses which have been made into shepherd-huts.
It is known as The Calf-House.
