This burial cairn measures 11m in diameter and stands up to 1.5m in height. A later hut has been set into the centre of the cairn. Rectangular in plan, it measures 6m from NE-SW by 4.5m transversely over drystone walls up to 1.2m in height and spread to a thickness of 1m. What may be the remains of another hut stand on the S edge of the cairn.
The shieling hut noted by OS (JTT) in 1965, 15m to the SW of the cairn, appears to be edge-set stones surrounding and protecting a natural spring.
