The National Monuments Service's description
Within a cairn associated with a possible unclassified megalithic tomb (CL009-021012-). To the S of the possible chamber of the tomb, there is a cist-like feature (c. 0.6m NW-SE; x 0.55m NE-SW), which is defined by three stones (max. H 0.75m), all in situ. Some of the stones are pointed – an unusual feature for a cist. A possible stone circle (CL009-021060-) is visible to the SW of the chamber. Both features suggest that the tomb was subsequently reused.
