The National Monuments Service's description
The following description of the monument has been published by Bergh (1995, 233): ‘About 30m NW of the main cairn [SL014-231----], there are 6 gneiss boulders set contiguous in a NW.-SE. line. The boulders are set in a stone packing and two of them are standing while the remaining are set on edge in a recumbent position with their long sides parallel to the ground. The boulders measure c. 1.1 x 0.8m with a height of 0.7m above ground.’ (Bergh 1995, 233; Fig. 31, 235)
