Description
A round cairn located on the highest point of a ridge with panoramic 360 degree views. The cairn is a turf-covered stony mound measuring 12m in diameter and up to 1m high and appears to incorporate natural rock outcrop to judge by the exposure visible at its north-west edge. The cairn centre is marked by an irregular, shallow crater measuring 2m-3m across and 0.25m deep but is otherwise intact.
North of centre a cairn of loose stones has been piled up into a heap 1.5m across and 0.5m high.
