Composed of granite stones, it is 10.0m in diameter and 1.2m high with a small marker cairn on its west side. The central hollow appears to have been filled. There are many large stones on the perimeter, but these cannot be clearly seen to form a kerb.

Visited by OS (TRG) 27 January 1978.
Scheduled with NX96SW 4 as Slewcairn, two cairns.
