The National Monuments Service's description
A stone cairn 9m across and 2m high in its current form. There are some large boulder thrown up onto the cairn, particularly on the N side. Several of these shows signs of splitting, and they are certainly dumped here as part of field clearance. Beneath these larger boulders a cairn of smaller stones can be clearly seen.
