This heather covered, C-shaped, burnt mound is situated on the E side of an unnamed burn which drains an area of boggy ground. It measures 10m in diameter and stands up to 1m in height with a hollow, measuring 3m from E to W by 2.3m transversely, opening onto the burn on the E side. Cracked stone and blackened soil is visible in rabbit scrapes.
