There is what might be a chamber in the centre of the cairn but this has been used for other purposes with modifications at a later date. The cairn is about 20metres across. This cairn stands in a prominent position overlooking a landscape of small hills and small lochs.
When viewed from the nearby Stiaraval chambered cairn (490m roughly to the west) - Airidh na h-aon Oidche appears on the skyline, and on a clear day it sits between two distant hills over on the Isle of Skye 26 miles away.
