This chambered cairn is largely as described and planned by Henshall. It measures 23m in diameter and is entered from the ESE where one façade stone on the SSW of the forecourt remains in situ. The passage is barely visible but measures about 6m in length. Two displaced capstones lie on the rubble choking the top of the chamber, where the upper courses of the corbelled walls are exposed to a height of 1m; the chamber measures 2.8m across its top. Stones have been quarried from the cairn to build numerous shieling huts around its base, some of which are circular on plan, while others are subrectangular and comprise two compartments.
