NS06NW 14 03578 69224.

Oval inner cairn, 7 by 11m, with definite edge on E, 1.50m of low kerb remaining; outer cairn, less well defined 15 by 12m with possible edging of large widely spaced stones. There is little space between the two cairns on the W. Two cists lie off centre in the inner cairn.

Cist 1, 1.8 by 0.8m, lies N-S, built of massive roughly shaped slabs. Cap stone, 1.9 by 1.2m, has seemingly been pulled at right angles to N end of cist. A layer of stones lies horizontally 0.6m from top of E slab, but not at the bottom of cist which has not been uncovered.

Cist 2 has been so much disturbed that original shape cannot be guessed. Two of the slabs are triangular. It lies about 2m NE of cist 1.
