The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland grazing, on blanket bog, on a S-facing slope on the S foothills of Miskish Mountain. One of a cluster of eight cairns (CO114-081001-; CO114-081002-; CO114-081004-; CO114-081005-; CO114-081006-; CO114-081007-; CO114-081008-). This gorse- and sod-covered circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 0.65m) is exposed at the W where part of the bog is cutaway. The remainder of the cairn is covered with bog. One of the other cairns (CO114-081002-) lies c. 10m to the SW and another (CO114-081004-) lies c. 13m to the NW.
