This is a round cairn, 32' diameter and 4' high, heather-covered and with a few trees growing in it. A depression in centre suggests that attempt has been made to plunder it. When Woodham visited site area had been trenched preparatory to planting.

The cairn, as described, by Woodham, is situated in centre of an afforested area. A few stones protrude through the heather in the centre of the cairn.

Recorded during field survey across this area. 11m diameter round cairn encircled by 1m wide ditch; stone visible in central depression, which was probably as a result of plundering; covered in heather and snow at time of visit. <2>
