A long, horned cairn is situated on the rounded crest of Newton Hill, not on summit. Width tapers from 19m across the horns at the east end, to 9.5m at west. The height of the mound decreases correspondingly from 1.8m to 0.6m. The cairn is made up largely of rough angular stones which show through the grass in places. An excavation trench has been driven down the axis of the cairn from the forecourt, a second along the central section of the north side and a third across the axis of the cairn about 10m from the west end.
