Remains of a long cairn. Grass-grown, the cairn tapers from 2-7m in breadth at the east end to 5m at the west end. The west part has been severely robbed, the mounds of quarried debris standing 0.7m in max. height, but the east end is largely intact and measures 2.5m in height on the uphill side and 4m on the downhill side. The south end has been destroyed by construction of a rectangular walled enclosure. Present appearance of cairn suggests that it is a composite monument with a round cairn built on its east end, but this may be result of robbing. Nonetheless at the east end, the upper part of cairn has a higher proportion of stone visible than lower part, possibly indicating the presence of a superimposed round cairn. The northeast corner of the long cairn is very angular but probably due to result of later land-use around the cairn.
