The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, in the valley of the Flesk River. A subrectangular mound of stones (5.2m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.62m) flanked by stone slabs. Four small pillar stones, which are positioned roughly at each corner, protrude above the surface of the mound. The pillar stone at the NE corner (H 0.77m; Wth 0.17m; T 0.17m) has a carving of a Latin cross (H 0.37m) with D-shaped terminals (KE076-011005-) on the upper half of its W face. Traces of curved lines and depressions are visible on the lichen-covered W face of the pillar stone (H 0.6m; Wth 0.55m; T 0.35m) near the NW corner. An unmarked slab (L 1.6m; 0.95m x 0.9m) lies prostrate on top of the mound. Loose stones lie along the perimeter.
