A circular hilltop-cairn offering splendid views and containing a good deal of quartz (typical of passage-tombs) surrounds a rectangular, corbel-roofed chamber, approached by a short passage from the SW. A basalt corbel near the capstone has faint decoration in the style of passage-tomb art, including a snake-like line, 3 horseshoe shapes and two groups of concentric circles, one of which may be a spiral.
~ 2 km SW are the portal-tombs of Ballyvennaght.
