A robbed cairn, still fairly well defined, with a diameter of 68' N-S and 64' E-W. Here and there within the circuit are traces of stones set on edge and on end but these cannot now be combined to suggest any recognisable foundation.
RCAHMS 1946, visited 1930
The poor remains of a round cairn measuring c.17.0m E-W by c.19.5m N-S. Within are six or seven stones set on edge which appear to form the W facing, slightly concave, facade of an earlier heel-shaped cairn. Two upright stones in the centre may be the portal stones of a chamber associated with it.
