The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in fairly even, gently SW-sloping land in pasture. This grass-covered subrectangular cairn (base 6.5m N-S; 6.1m E-W; top 3.3m N-S; 4.7m E-W; H 0.3-0.6m) has a rather flat top. The cairn appears to have been dug into along its W edge; there is also a hollow (D 0.25m) in the centre. There is another cairn (CL010-097001-) c. 33m to the NE, and another (CL010-097002-) c. 77m to the NE.
