The remains of a large, probably round, stoney mound, reduced on the E or landward side by ploughing, and on the W by coastal erosion. It measures c26.5m NNE-SSW, and now only c9.0m transversely; 0.7-1.2m high.
On the W side is part of a wide passage aligned ESE-WNW. Its walls are 1m apart, 0.4m high and exposed for a length of 1.7m. Some 4,2 and 11.0m to the N of this passage, howking has revealed some courses of flat slabs forming no obvious pattern which may be no more than part of the core of the cairn. (Confirmed by A S Henshall).
Visited by OS (JLD) 14 May 1983.
