The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low rise of ground overlooking a river valley in an upland region. A chamber, 1.35m long (SSE-NNW) is 0.85m wide at the open SSE end and narrows slightly towards the opposite end. It is formed by four low stones, one at the more westerly side, one at the NNW end, and there are two, a longer outer and shorter inner example, at the more easterly side. The shorter of the latter two stones is skewed so as to narrow the rear of the chamber. There is a largely concealed stone at the inner face of the last. The structural stones are relatively thin slabs and none rises more than 0.25m above ground level. This seems to be a large cist.
