This kerb cairn is large and complex and perhaps consists of different phases as OS suggest. There appear to be two kerbs an inner one of very large blocks which has an outer and inner face visible and an outer kerb of smaller stones. If this cairn was covered by a mound - which cannot be assumed - this material has now gone as the stones are exposed. The cairn measures 13.5m by 15.9m and is 0.4m in height. It is visible from the SW to the NW for 1km.
