Remains of a cairn, possibly a ring-cairn, of probable Bronze Age date. It survives as a pennanular stony bank, with possible kerbstones visible on the north-west and south-east. The cairn measures 12m in diameter and 0.6m in maximum height, and is surrounded by an extensive area of tumble and possible field clearance that measures 20m in diameter. It is a relatively well-preserved example of a Bronze Age cairn, which survives to an impressive degree despite agricultural improvements to the area surrounding it. A stone cist was found on the site in the 19th century and a trial excavation was carried out in 1963. Ring-cairns are relatively rare in this area of Aberdeenshire. This monument is sited in a prominent position, on a hill, with good views in all directions.
