Little stone has been removed from the cairn, although the chamber has probably been entered in recent times from the top. A number of large slabs are set near the edge of the cairn, and other slabs on the eastern side show where the passage runs and probably the position of the chamber; a very large slab lying flat on the top of the cairn may well be a capstone of the chamber. The commanding position is probably responsible for the name 'Dun', although the early identification of the site as a burial cairn is recognised in the second element of the name.
