The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the N centre of a cairn (CL009-163----). Identified by Paul Walsh and Tom Coffey (SMR file). This cist (c. 1.7m E-W; c. 0.7m N-S) is sunk into the cairn, but it is possible to trace the tops of the single stone slabs set on edge which make up its E and W sides, as well as the central part of the slab on the N side. Another cist (CL009-163002-) is set parallel immediately to the S within the cairn centre.
