The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Not indicated on any edition of the OS 6'' map. Recorded in 1991 as roughly circular cairn (base diam. c.8m; H 1m) of rubble stone (SMR (1989) file). There are no remains now visible at ground level. However the outline of a small circular enclosure of similiar dimensions to the cairn recorded in 1991 is visible from aerial photographic coverage (Ortho_ITM). This may mark the outline of the denuded cairn.
