More Details here

Cairn, situated in a forestry plantation. There is no trace of a kerb, entrance or chamber but there are a number of depressions all over the cairn that appear relatively modern. The stones of the cairn are not overgrown with moss or grass, suggesting it could be modern, but the size and shape and also the fact that the stones are all circa 0.3 m diameter appears to refute this. A small enclosure, 3.5 m by 2.5 m within a bank of stones 2 m thick and 0.5 m high, is situated at the foot of the cairn on the south-southwest.
