The National Monuments Service's description
On the NW slope of a possible cairn (GA103-118011-); this possible leacht, almost square in plan (2.5m NE-SW; 2.4m NW-SE) is defined by large rectangular blocks (L 0.7m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.15m) and some smaller stones. It is three courses high on the SE side, two on the SW and NE sides and just one course high on the NW side. A hawthorn tree standing close to the N corner overhangs the structure. A cross-base and two fragments of the shaft (see GA103-118008-) are visible in the W corner of it.
