This cairn, on the edge of a golf course, is has been damaged, and only a few of the kerb stones survive, but the cist is still in situ, with a slightly dislodged capstone. It is said when excavated in 1972 no skeletal remains were found but fragments of a food vessel were along with evidence of previous disturbance.
