The much disturbed remains of this Clava ring-cairn are situated on the top of a knoll in improved pasture. It measures about 20m in diameter overall by up to 1.5m in height, but the cairn has had a large quantity of field gathered stones added to it, masking its original appearance. Excavation in 1964 (Woodham, 1964) showed that the central court measured about 8.5m in diameter within a ring-bank 2.7m thick. Four stones of the revetment of the court are still upright, while a fifth lies prostrate. A curving slit-trench, linking the stones of the court kerb, mark the site of the 1964 excavation.
