Remains of a long cairn. Although the plan of this great wedge-shaped long cairn is rather disturbed, it is still an important feature in the Buchan landscape, lying at 80 m OD in very open, rolling country. The cairn is built of many heavy stones, still bare, and is aligned northwest-southeast. It is 48 m long, and higher and wider at the rounded south-eastern end, which is 22 m across and 1.8 m high. The northeast side is well defined and appears little disturbed. The southwest side has been robbed, from near the southeast end for about a third of its length. Various deep holes have been made in the southeast end by pulling away the stones but no internal structure is to be seen. Two stone axes were found at the cairn in 1885, now in the Arbuthnot Museum in Peterhead. There may formerly have been cists visible within the cairn.
