The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in the centre of a disturbed cairn (CL010-222001-). Documented and reported to the National Monuments Service in 2006 by Elizabeth Gills. This damaged rectangular cist (1.55m E-W; 0.58m N-S) comprises single upright slabs on each side. Another slab lying prone immediately to the NW of the cist may be its removed capstone. On either side of the cist are loose stone heaps—presumably offcast from the digging out of the cairn’s centre in order to reach this cist and its contents.
