This cairn, which is situated some 380m NE of Belmont Castle (NO24SE 19), measures 15m in diameter and 1.8m in height. A 19th-century investigation located an apparently-empty cist two feet (0.6m) below the surface of the mound. Although heavily overgrown on the date of visit, the position of the cist is now marked by a hollow on the crest of the cairn. At the N edge of the mound there are several large stones; some are the product of field clearance but others may have formed parts of the cist.
