A cairn 20 metres to the east of Tibbett's Lookout and clipped on its western side by the construction of a parade strip and flagpole surround. The cairn is 20 metres in diameter and stands 0.4 metres high, built of small and medium sized stones. It has been bisected by a trench 1.5 metres wide running north-south. This may be the result of an excavation although no details are known. At least half of the cairn survives undisturbed.
