The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in rough pastureland. A trigonometrical point, OD 186, is shown at this location on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A long flat-topped cairn (basal dims. 21.3 E-W; 19.4m N-S; H 1.8-2.2m; max. H 6m at W; dims. at top 9.1m N-S; 6.7m E-W) sloping to the N and NW. Kerbstones visible intermittently from SE to N provide an estimated original diameter (14.6m N-S). A field wall crosses the cairn from roughly N to S and another extends off it at SE.
