The National Monuments Service's description
In generally level, rough pasture, with rock outcrop close to the surface with a low drystone field boundary adjacent to E. Described by Westropp (1902-04, No 10c, 100), ‘In the north wall of the field is set a block 4 feet by 2 feet 8 inches by 12 inches, and is said to have been part of a ‘Lobba’ of which the other portions were used for the wall.' A number of small and medium sized stones form this field boundary and a larger, generally flat stone is located c. 5m to S, lying up against the west side of the field boundary. Not visible at ground level. The site of three other megalithic structures (CL035-045001-, CL035-045002- and CL035-045003-) and the site of a cairn (CL035-045004-) are close to E.
