The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope on poor grassland with limestone pavement and with limited views.
A poorly preserved wedge tomb with an E-W aligned chamber (1.5m E-W; 1.3m N-S) within a triangular or wedge shaped cairn defined by kerbs visible at the N and S and extending out to W (Wth 3m). The cairn is narrow at the W (Wth c. 4m) and wider at the E (Wth 7.6m). The chamber is difficult to identify, two stones at the N may have been sidestones and stones in the S may also have been sidestones. The cairn material is sparse and internal walling may exist at N. Sod and stone walls are attached to the cairn at N and S, extending to the NE and S. An unclassified cairn (CL016-134----) is located c. 63m to the NNW.
