The cairnfield includes seventeen cairns scattered along a slight terrace. Three of the mounds are sub-circular in shape and these range in size from 4 metres to 6 metres in diameter and stand between 0.7 metres and l metre high. Fourteen of the mounds are ovoid in shape, and these range between 3.3 metres to 9.5 metres long, 2 metres to 4.9 metres wide and stand between 0.2 metres and 1metre high. The three sub-circular mounds are probably burial monuments; the remainder most likely represent stone clearance connected with cultivation of the area.
