A long-horned cairn, sited just below the crest of saddle between two prominent hills in the centre of the Howe of Cromar. Aligned east-southeast to west-northwest, it is constructed of grey bare boulders and is 53.3m long, 18.3m wide and a maximum of 1.8m high. At the east end is a wide shallow forecourt defined by two horns, from 0.31 to 0.61m high, which project about 3m beyond the main body of the cairn. No structural features are exposed and it is apparently chamberless. About 12m from the east end there is a distinct and regular hollow, 0.9m deep, crossing the cairn. It is probably an original feature and may indicate that this is a two-stage monument.
