Around the edge of the cairn are several large stones set on edge and many stones lie scattered over the mound. On N side, a shepherd's cairn has been erected.

This cairn, as described by previous field investigator, is composed of unusually large blocks and slabs of stone. A small crude enclosure 2m across has been constructed on the cairn. The noted rectangular structure is later. Whether the cairn was chambered cannot be ascertained from the remains.
