Fragments of a Class I symbol stone were found in 1978. Subsequent fieldwork revealed that the largest fragment lay beside a low, round cairn and a small fragment lay on top of it. The cairn measured 3 by 3.3 m over a neat horizontally-laid kerb. In size it was similar to the round mounds at Garbeg (NH53SW 15) and Lundin Links (NO 4003); in its method of construction to those at Ackergill (ND35SW 12) and Keiss (ND06SW 5). The surrounding ground was covered by a skin of peat 0.2 to 0.3m thick, and no cists or other cairns were visible. It is likely that no other cairns are present.
