According to Canmore ID 11325 it has "been truncated by road improvement, and lost as much as a third of its diameter from its western side". Before 1987 it measured c. 66 feet on the N-S Axis and 7 feet high.
There is a convenient lay-by c. 50 yards S of Kensaleyre N Cairn making it easy to explore the nearby cairns and standing stone.
