Full Description
Ring cairn, the northwest one of a group of four. It is surrounded by a close-set kerb of rectangular blocks, mainly quite small. On the south-southwest side are two particularly tall stones (1.6m and 1m high) with the stump of another between them. At intervals, particularly in the east and northtwest sectors, are taller kerb-stones (0.66m high and 2.4m apart) with four normal-sized stones between them, obviously a designed feature. There is about 1m of cairn material. The five stones visible of the interior setting (standing to 0.53m) give the interior diameter of 2.43-2.74m. Three standing stones of the outer circle remain (0.61m -1.37m in height) while two prostrate stones on the northwest probably belong to this circle. There is some mutilation of the bank in the south and west.
