The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on slight W-facing slope, just off the summit of NE-SW orientated ridge, in pasture. A similar cairn (SL005-145----) is located 10m NE. Roughly semi-circular raised area (dims. 8m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE) enclosed by a scarp (ext. H 0.4m) of small rubble limestone. A single large irregular boulder (L 0.9m; Wth 0.7m; H 0.5m) lies at the edge of the cairn at WSW. The cairn lies at the base of a straight NE-SW orientated field wall that defines the SE side.
