The chamber walls were of dry masonry. The plan seems to have

been similar to that of Calf of Eday NW, the main part of the

chamber being rectangular in plan and surrounded by compartments

divided from each other and partly divided from the chamber by

upright slabs reaching to the roof. The other slabs dividing the

compartments from the main chamber were probably relatively low

sill-stones. Petrie states that the passage was too small to have

been used. [R2]
