Details Bell cairn consisting of a central mound of earth and stones separated from a ditch, 5m wide x 0.8m deep, by a berm average 0.5m wide. The ditch is encircled by a double bank, 36m in diameter, which becomes single for a distance of 9m on the northwest. The southern half of the bank has been extensively mutilated. Some human remains were exhumed within its enclosure circa 1840. The cairn has been dug into in a number of places but the primary burial may well be intact.
