A number of edge set stones, protruding up to 0.7 metres, surround the northern and eastern sides of the mound, representing a kerb. A single upright stone within the cairn may mark the remains of a second ring of stones. |

SX 54748137. A disturbed cairn measuring 5.2m N to S by 6.0m and standing a maximum of 0.3m high. Eight large upright slabs and boulders, up to 0.6m high, lie on the fringe of the mound to create a substantial retaining circle. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of a cist though is seems likely that the interior of the cairn has been used as a repository for cleared stone. A large number of relatively recent clearance cairns lie in the immediate area.
