On the crest of a hill at approximately 38.0m OD is an earth and stone semi-circular cairn 12.0m a cross and 0.7m high, Built against an outcrop (like a lot of Scilly sites) with no visible ditch. The scrub and bracken covered mound comprises several boulders; the largest being a natural outcrop - 9.0m x 0.4m. On the East side the tops of two parallel stones suggest a possible cist or chamber. This site corporates an elongated 9m rock outcrop on the West side, and the three stones on the East side suggest a chamber orientated north east/south west, At the moment the site is totally overgrown.
This site is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1010164, Kerbed platform cairn 80m north east of Mount Todden Farm, St Mary's.
