A Hebridean type chambered cairn, probably originally round, but heavily robbed although it is still a large, steep-sided, grass-covered mound bearing trees. It measures about 77ft by 55ft by 13ft in height.
The chamber was discovered in 1832 when part of it collapsed, and a partial exploration produced, among other finds, a wrist-guard of fine grey-green stone. A similar wrist-guard was found on the beach, probably having been thrown out during the exploration. An urn with a secondary burial was also found.
