This is a rare survival of an important type of neolithic monument, the earthen long barrow. Composed of scraped-up turf and earth, it appears to be intact. It is located on the edge of a low terrace above the river North Esk, and is 80m long, 28m wide at the east end and 2.5m high. A very similar example was excavated (and subsequently removed in gravel quarrying) in 1971 at Dalladies, about 1.1km to the north.
