What are probably the remains of a chambered cairn are situated on the leading edge of a terrace on the SW-facing slopes of North Glen Sannox. The cairn measures 14m from N to S by 9m transversely and stands at least 1m in height.

The remains of the probable chamber lie on the axis of the cairn and have been exposed in the northern of two holes that have been dug into the cairn material. Another upright slab can be seen in the second hole immediately to the S.
