The National Monuments Service's description
At the top of a broad hill in pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This grass-covered subcircular cairn (basal dims. 21.5m E-W; 20.6m N-S; H 2-2.4m) is quite flat topped (diam. 3-4m). A SW-NE running drystone field boundary crosses it. An older grass-covered denuded wall extends off it and runs southwards. A fulacht fia (CL009-191----) lies c. 24m to the NE and two enclosures (CL009-059073- and CL009-059074-) lie c. 85m to the SW and c. 87m to the NE respectively.
