This chambered cairn is 200m NW of Rattar South (ND27SW 3), in the narrow space between the shore and a field wall, at 5m OD.
The turf-covered cairn has been about 9m in diameter, but it has been eroded by the sea on the N side and by a small burn on the E side. The edge round the Se half is vague, but a fairly clear edge remains on the W side. The cairn surface is gently rounded with a maximum height of 0.8m at the back of the chamber. The inner part of the chamber is exposed in a rectangular hollow dug to almost ground level. The chamber axis runs from a little N of E to S of W. A divisional slab on the S side is 0.4m long and 0.2m high. The back-slab, 2.1m to the W, is 1.3m long and 0.6m high. The chamber is 1.3m wide at the W end between two short lengths of wall-face, and another short length can be seen adjacent to the divisional slab. The S wall-face is interrupted by a shallower hollow extending southwards, perhaps indicating another divisional slab has been removed from this position.
