The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground towards the SW end of a low ridge. Small cist (dims. c. 0.43m x 0.3m) of four slabs with a capstone containing a food vessel, discovered in 1933. It was found in a rectangular enclosure marked on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. What remains on the site is a small cairn, with traces of stone facing, which may be part of the enclosure. (Dargan 1916, 77-8; Waddell 1990, 163)
