This consumption cairn, which is situated in low-lying ground 25m E of The Lith, comprises a rectangular grass- and heather-grown heap of limestone boulders and stones retained by a battered drystone wall. It measures 14m from NNE to SSW by 5.5m transversely and up to 1.6m in height, and has a rounded SSW end, but the retaining wall has been removed from the WNW side and the NNW end.
