The National Monuments Service's description
Embedded in the top of a grass-covered cairn (CL010-064063-), this cist (1.84m E-W; 1m N-S) is defined on three sides by slabs set on edge: longer sidestones at the N (min. L 1.6m; H 0.5m; T 0.06m) and S (L 1.3m; H 0.55m; T c. 0.07m), and a shorter endstone (L 0.95m; T c. 0.08m) at the E. The heavily overgrown W endstone (Wth 0.25m) lies flat. There is a loose flat-lying slab in the W interior of the cist.
