Now a massive pile of stones some 33.5m in diameter and 4m in height, with no other distinguishing features, this cairn is the northernmost of the line on the valley floor. The cairn covered several burial deposits and may have been the result of building and rebuilding over several centuries. One cist contained an inhumation burial with a Food Vessel as well as the beads of a jet necklace. The central cist, which was constructed in a shaft, contained an inhumation burial and another Food Vessel.
