A small, round, artificial eminence, planted with fir, in which a 'stone coffin' had been exposed by a small hole dug in the summit in about 1863. This is an oval, rather than round, stony mound, 22 m east-west by 25 m north-south and 2 m high. It has been cleared of wood, and a quantity of stones were revealed where it has been dug into. These, together with a number of large stones which lie around the base of the mound, suggest that it is a cairn rather than a tumulus. On the summit is a rectangular depression measuring 1.8 m east-west by 0.6 m, probably the site of the cist referred to in the Ordnance Name Book (1863). There are no signs of any slabs protruding. The cairn measures 26 m by 22 m and 2.5 m in height.
