Cairn 6.1m in diameter and 0.6m high with traces of a kerb of large boulders. A slight hollow at centre contains two loose slabs, possibly from a destroyed cist. An inner ring of drystone walling, exposed by recent excavation on the S and SE, is probably only the overlapping edges of the slabs of which the cairn is built (Inventory).

Stone dumping has now obscured the structural features alluded to previously.
