This cairn is situated on heather-covered moorland; it measures 16.6m from E to W and 17.2m from N to S, but it is only on the N side that the edge is at all clearly defined with distinct horns at the NW and NE angles; at its highest the cairn is some 1.8m The chamber, which is nearly central and was entered from the E side, has been very considerably disturbed in recent years and not all the features recorded in the past can now be detected. Only the main chamber can still be seen; now filled with rubble, it measures 2.8m in length and 1.7m in breadth with corbelling still standing to a height of 1m in seven courses. There are several large disturbed slabs in the chamber and a more massive displaced slab to the N of the chamber. Several bothies have been built around the cairn.
