The remains of a burial ground, situated on a level area above a bend in the River Laggan. It comprises the northern half of an oval mound now 29.0m E-W by 12.0m overall and 0.9m high; the southern half including the chapel has been eroded by the river. There is no evidence of any walling or entrance. There are two small upright earthfast slabs in the south side of the interior, these may be grave marker slabs.

A cross shaft and incised slab from the Laggan River burial is displayed in Islay Museum; are presumably those described by Lamont.

Surveyed at 1:10 000.
