The cairn is delineated by wooden posts and there is a buffer zone around the monument. There is a panoramic view from this cairn. A cairn (TS091-022----) at foot of Crohan hill is visible 900m to the SW. This is a denuded circular cairn (diam. 15.5m; H 1.2m) composed of old red Devonian sandstone stones. In the S quadrant some stones have been heaped up the form a small pile (diam. c. 1m; H 1.4m above the cairn). The edge of the cairn is well defined, with some large earthfast stones which may be kerbing.
