This cairn, which lies to the S of the Cauldside Burn in the saddle between Cambret Hill and Cairnharrow, measures 18m in diameter by up to 3.5m in height. At the centre of the mound there is a hollow, about 1m in depth, within which there is a cist; it measures 1m from E to W by 0.6m transversely, and its base must lie about 2.5m above ground level. The broken capstone lies within the cist. Stone appears to have been robbed from the perimeter of the cairn, leaving a berm-like terrace, about 2m broad, marking the original extent of the mound. On the W of the cairn there is a slight ditch, which may be natural.
