This site sits on ground c.25m from the road which slopes slightly from NW to SE. The chambered cairn is roughly circular in plan but appears to have been heavily robbed/disturbed. It is constructed of rough, irregular gathered stones with an average diameter of 0.3-0.5m. Occasional larger stones of up to 1m long are visible towards the top of the cairn as described in the NMRS entry for 1963. No trace of the chamber can be seen, although there are several depressions in the upper surface. There is no sign of an entrance in the east or of the lintels observed in 1976.
