The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope in rough pasture, and partly covered by a later field-clearance cairn. This possible cist (c. 1.75m N-S; c. 1.3m E-W; H 0.54-0.75m) comprises four visible stone slabs: a W slab (L 1.65m; H 0.54m; T 0.09m) and a N slab (L 1.2m; H 0.75m; T 0.07-0.08m) set on their long edges form a corner, with another upright slab (L 0.78m; H 0.75m; T 0.07-0.08m) standing immediately to the NW, orientated NW-SE. A fourth slab (L 1.34m; Wth c. 1m; T 0.11m) is displaced, leaning on the S face of the N slab.
