A ring-cairn surrounded by a stone circle is situated in low-lying pasture 580m NE of Cairnwell farmhouse. The ring-cairn measures 4.8m in diameter within a band of cairn material 0.8m to 1.0m in thickness, and up to fifteen inner and eleven outer kerbstones can be seen. Although thirteen stones of the surrounding circle were visible in 1858, only three remain; they stand 0.7m outside the ring-cairn and lie on the EN E, ESE and S respectively. In 1858 excavation revealed five deposits of pottery within the interior as well as 'black mould ... with fragments of bone and wood charcoal'.
