The monument comprises the remains of a ring cairn of prehistoric date surviving as a grassed-over stony mound. It lies on rough pasture at around 170m OD, commanding extensive views over the Lake of Menteith to the S, and comprises a cairn of large boulders approximately 16m in diameter by around 1.6m high, further heightened by later accumulations of field clearance stones. A kerb is visible along the NW and S sides.

Field Visit (15 May 1995)
The cairn described above could not be located at the National Grid Reference quoted. However, the description given, matches a burial cairn at NN 5646 0192, which is situated in a prominent position overlooking Mondowie house and the Lake of Menteith, with good views up and down the Forth Valley.
The cairn measures 16.5m in diameter (spread to 20m) and stands up to 1.7m in height, and has been heavily robbed on its W and N sides. Several large kerbstones are visible on the E and S with smaller stones on the W and N.
A field bank crosses the N side of the cairn, running E-W from a N-S running field boundary.
