This Clyde-type chambered long cairn, which is situated within a clearing in a forestry plantation, is generally as previously described. Most of the visible stone is disposed between two long mounds set on the same axis; probing in the gap between them reveals a stony spread, and it is likely that both originally belonged to a single cairn some 75 metres in length (contra Henshall). The gap in the middle of the cairn has been caused by robbing on a large scale and this is, in part, reflected by old cuttings in the peat around the cairn. The chamber at the W end of the cairn still survives though the eastern of the two septal slabs was not located on the date of visit.
