The National Monuments Service's description
At the bottom of a N-facing slope in rough pastureland. Recorded by T. Coffey (SMR file), this flat-topped grass-covered cairn (basal dims. 15m N-S; 11.7m E-W; dims. at top 11.3m N-S; 8.8m E-W; H 0.6-1m) has a central hollow (dims. 2m E-W; 0.8m N-S; D 0.4m). The W extent is irregular in outline and cairn material (Wth 5m; D 2.5m) has been removed from the NW sector. Possibly a field-clearance cairn.
