Excavations following the discovery of the side slab of a cist when ploughing in 1977 revealed 5 large kerb stones which, with the edge of the cairn material, defined one third of the perimeter of a cairn 10m in diameter. The kerb was packed with stones on the outside. The cairn was set against a ridge of raised beach material. The site has been back filled.

D N Marshall 1977; 1978; 1979.
