This C-shaped burnt mound is situated to the W of the public road (A897), NE of Kildonan Farm, and lies on the W side of an unnamed burn. It measures 8m from N to S by 5.5m transversely and 0.8m in maximum height on the downstream, S, side. It opens out to the E and merges with the natural slopes to the N and W. There is an exposure of cracked and reddened stones set in a matrix of black soil in the E end of the S arm.
