"Probable oval funerary cairn on saddle. Mostly covered in grass and bilberry and surrounded by heather. Only distinct from natural hillocks in this area due to the lack of exposed bedrock and the presence of small stone rubble throughout. Disturbed on W and NE where stones have been removed and placed into a modern cairn which lies on the crest of the original cairn. The original cairn appears to have been created by piling rubble onto a natural hillock. Original cairn measures 24.0m E/W by 21.5m and is up to 3.0m high (on W), while the modern cairn is 5.0m in diameter and 1.3m high."
