This cairn lies in peat moorland above the rocky foreshore on the W side of a narrow inlet. Peat surrounds the cairn and has now grown to such a height on the S that it gives the misleading impression that the cairn lies in a hollow. The cairn appears to have been heavily robbed to expose the stones of the chamber, though given its isolated location it is difficult to see where the stone would have been reused. The chamber is entered from a passage on the ESE but is not symmetrical to the cairn as it survives today. A small subrectangular pen has been dug into the cairn material on the W.
