Full Description
A horned long cairn, with many disturbances including to the horns. The sides are straight. The forecourt appears to have been blocked by boulders in front of where the facade would be expected to lie. The south horn shows disturbance and later walling. The plan and profile of cairn suggest two phases of construction.
