Before excavation by Grant in 1932 was a grassy earthen
mound 4ft 6in high with slabs showing here and there. Three
cists - one primary - revealed by excavation, a fourth cist lay
just beyond perimeter of mound. After excavation the mound was
restored to its pristine state. [R1], [R2]
Now visible as a turfed mound 7m diameter 0.6m high, no sign
of cists. According to J Yorston who did the excavation for
Grant, the central cist was two-tiered.
