One side and one end stone only remains of this cist, giving measurements of c. 1.4m x c. 0.6m x c. 0.3m deep. A large slab enbedded into the mound, close by the cist, is probably the capstone.

This cist occurs in the centre of a turf-covered stony mound 5.8m in diameter and 0.6m high, almost certainly a cairn placed on the summit of a glacial knoll.

Visited by OS (A A) 19 June 1974.
