The National Monuments Service's description
Within the SW end of a cairn associated with a possible unclassified megalithic tomb (CL009-021012-). A circle of seven upright stones (H c. 0.4m) encloses a small fairly level area (c. 2.5m NW–SE; c. 2m NE–SW). In the centre of this space a large roughly rectangular slab (1.3m NW–SE; NE–SW 0.95m) lies flat. A possible cist (CL009-021059-) lies to the S of the chamber of the tomb. Both of these features suggest that the possible tomb was subsequently reused.
