A relatively little disturbed chambered cairn is situated on the northern slope of Reineval. It is about 12ft high and is surrounded by a roughly circular peristalith from 65 to 75ft in diameter, of which twelve upright stones, mostly in the NW quadrant, are visible. The edge of the cairn is very irregular with spreads to the W, S and NE. The entrance passage 3ft wide, can be traced for 10 1/2ft on the ESE side.
