Full Description
Remains of a cairn, measuring 7m in diameter. Around the perimeter are six intermittent earthfast stones, probably part of some kerb. The centre of loose stones has been disturbed, and two marker cairns have been built on the top. The cairn is traditionally associated with the slaying of a huge serpent.
