The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf of karst limestone in rough pasture and scrub. A low circular grassed-over cairn (basal dims. 11.2m E-W; H 0.4m). Most of the cairn material has been removed but a number of kerbstones (L 0.5-1.8m; H 0.3-0.4m; Wth 0.25m) survive: three are visible between E and S, two at WSW and four between W and N. The kerbstone at E is dislodged and has fallen outwards and the other two are leaning outwards. Those at SW are flush with the interior. A cist (CL016-156002-) is exposed in the centre of the interior.
