The entrance stone, Kerbstone 1, is profusely carved on its front face, this would have been done after the stone was positioned as can be seen by the line where the carving stops at old ground level.

Behind the entrance stone the passage entrance and the roofbox above can be seen. The slab which originally closed the tomb entrance but which had since fallen forward and used as a paving step into the chamber, is now bolted to the external wall.

Intriguingly, a quartz block was found near the roofbox opening which had been used to close half the opening and though some accounts also place another similar and corresponding stone here also, this has since dissapeared. The excavators found scratch marks on the passage roof where these stones had been moved to open and close the roofbox.
