Vis=10/9/1995 (quinnell) at sx59166695 at ne end of worth's row 17, which is aligned upon the centre.0.6m high with diams of 7.3m by 6.5m, with flattish top 3.3m across eccentric to the perimeter. In this is an excavation pit 2.3m wide by 0.25m deep. Ne edge of cairn is relatively straight, perhaps distorted by robbing a 1m band of stone. If so it would account for the offset top and excavation which would normally be central. On nw side a slight tunnel has been dug for 3.5m along the perimeter.
