This nearly circular tumulus is about 45ft in diameter and 4ft-5ft high, covered with whin bushes. It was excavated by Bryce. The outer part was of earth, with a few large stones, while the core was of large boulders. Underneath was a short cist containing an inverted food vessel (Childe's type Blb), jet bead, bronze pin, flint scraper, a few fragments of flint and many fragments of burnt human bones. The finds are in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS).
