Details Long cairn visible as a low mound, of overall length 37m. It is composed of small, roundish stones and earth, robbed in antiquity especially at the west end and cut by a cross-trench 20.72m from west end. A small pit, circa 600mm square, to the west of this was reported in 2015. The cairn was originally trapezoidal and wedge shaped, the main axis almost due east-west. The suggestion of horns, most marked at the northeast corner may be entirely due to later stone robbing. The cairn is overgrown with grass and gorse.
