The National Monuments Service's description

At the N end of a low NW-SE ridge. Subrectangular grass-covered cairn (dims of base 4.8m N-S; 4.6m E-W; H 0.4m at E to 0.8m at N) which may be a stepped calvary, with a cross-base (dims 0.5m x 0.47m; H 0.22m) and fragment of a window mullion (RO036-038002-) (L 0.4m) nearby. It is known to have been the site of a cross (OS Name Book), and the cross-head (RO040-004004-) at Derrane Abbey (RO040-004001-) c. 130m to the SE may be from here.
