This massive round cairn of bare stones is spectacularly sited at the edge of a hill terrace with wide views across the River Feugh and up into the Forest of Birse. It is 27m in diameter and 4.5m high, but the platform on which it sits is probably the result of field clearance and ploughing. The cairn is intervisible with another of similar size c 1km to the east (NO 668933), while the dyke immediately to the east runs over a smaller cairn.

Information from ‘Exploring Scotland’s Heritage: Grampian’, (1986).
