The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise on an exposed semi-karst ridge with wide views all around, except from to SW to NW where there is slightly higher ground. In rough pasture within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). Listed as ‘Cemetery cairn’ in the RMP (1996). This grass-covered subcircular cairn (6m E-W; 5.8m N-S; H 0.5-0.9m) has traces of a kerb at the NW, where two earthfast stones are set along the cairn perimeter. There is a cist (CL010-064084-) at the top of the cairn.
