This tautologically-named monument ('mound mound') stands on the skyline, at the edge of a pasture field. Measuring some 18m ESE-WNW by 16m, it was recorded by RCAHMS in 1928 as 1.2m in height, but this had been reduced by 1957 when it was seen by Henshall. Three slabs, now protruding about 0.3m above the top of the mound, appear to represent the divisions of a chamber of Orkney-Cromarty type, on the same alignment as the major axis of the mound.
RCAHMS 1983, visited June 1981.
