Cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1977 and 1983) reveal a circular barrow on the end of a low ridge; its site now lies within a housing estate on the western edge of Crieff. The barrow measures up to 10m in diameter within a ditch about 2m in breadth. Although the line of the ditch fades on the N and S, giving the impression of gaps in the ring-ditch, close inspection of the photographs confirms that the ditch is continuous. There is a burial-pit in the centre of the interior.
