Situated right by the roadside the remains of the cairn are obvious on the top of a small grass covered knoll. The cairn area is difficult to define but it appears to be about 12m in diameter with a maximum height of up to 2m. Six stones projecting from the cairn material appear to be the remains of a ESE-WNW orientated chamber.
