This chambered cairn is situated on the leading edge of a S-facing terrace in a field of pasture about 500m S of Kilmichael farmsteading. The cairn has been severely reduced by robbing and ploughing and now measures 10.5m from E to W by 7.2m transversely and no more than 1m in height. The burial chamber, which was shown by excavation to contain two compartments, measures 4.9m from E to W by 0.8m overall and up to 1.3m in height on the S. Its interior is now choked with rubble, and a displaced capping stone, measuring 1.4m by 2m and at least 0.2m in thickness, lies immediately to the S.
