Summary
Cist with possible vestigal kerb noted by Butler in 1993. Survey in 1997 recorded cist oriented west-north-west by east-south-east measuring 1.0 metre by 0.5 metres with some stones of the retaining circle still apparent. Faint traces of the enclosing cairn are still visible as ground remains. However, it is difficult to confirm the interpretation of the three recumbent stones lying in an arc around the cist as the vestiges of a kerb. Faint traces of the enclosing cairn are still visible as ground remains.
