This irregularly-shaped stony mound appears to represent the remains of a prehistoric burial cairn. It measures about 6 metres across, stands to a height of 0.6 metres and has been severely disturbed by stone-robbing.
RCAHMS 1975, visited May 1967.
As described. It is apparently made of fairly large boulders and has been quarried in the centre and at the sides. There is one larger boulder, 0.5 by 0.6 metres on its south periphery, but no real evidence of a built kerb.
