Full Description
Cairn, turf-covered and robbed. There are two contiguous earth-fast stones on the south-west arc, which may have been part of kerb. About 3 metres outside the cairn perimeter, to the south, are three irregular boulders forming an arc. It is uncertain whether they form part of a circle or are merely fortuitous.
