(NN 884 525) The ruined polygonal chamber of a Neolithic chambered tomb, called locally 'The Giant's Grave', sited on a knoll which may be in part artificial.
Information from M E C Stewart, 14 December 1964.
The cairn has been removed except for the heap of stones, 3'6" - 4' high, enclosed within a circular wall 21' - 25' across. The main feature, within the wall, is a group of three upright contiguous slabs, evidently forming the back of a chamber.
