This long cairn is aligned N and S and is largely as planned and described previously. It stands immediately to the S of a natural gully and takes the form of an elongated mound of stone that narrows and reduces in height as its descends S. The tail of the cairn gives the impression of having been extended S in two sections, the central sector appearing as two parallel banks of stone, though this may simply be the result of robbing loose stones from the core of the mound rather than those embedded in the turf and vegetation along its flanks. An enclosure defined by a low stony bank has been built against the W side towards the N end of the cairn, and at least one small hut is visible immediately to the N of the rounded S end. The only other feature of note is a spread of stones beneath the turf that extends E from the broad N end of the cairn along the S lip of the gully; its date and purpose are unknown.
