It is not certain to what extent this mound has been damaged through excavation. The cist that is now visible on the slope from the top to the SE is large, appears to have its top intact and through a gap can be seen to be filled with sand. It is possible that this is not the same cist that the OS notes on the S side which is said to have its W side missing.
The mound is large, measuring 37.3m by 33.5m and is 5.15m in height. It is very prominent due to its large size, especially to the NW and SE.
