The National Monuments Service's description
Within a kerbed cairn (CL010-064065-). Westropp (1913, 247) noted a central cist ‘long since opened and partly filled; its cell is still opened for 5 feet [1.5m] inwards’. On inspection in 1999 the cist was not evident but the centre of the cairn had been partly robbed out.
