The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope. Trapezoidal overgrown cairn (dims 17m E-W; 6m N-S at W to c. 14m N-S at E) with some kerbstones at S and visible in an NE-SW field wall at N. The full court (dims 9m N-S; c. 8m E-W) at its E end consists of 7 stones on the S side and four surviving on the N. Two jambstones 0.6m apart allow access to the gallery (dims c. 5m E-W; 2.15m N-S), of which only one stone on the N side and two on the S side remain. There is a local tradition of its use as a children's burial ground (RO015-042002-).
