Two monuments are preserved at this site, a gallery grave and cist with stone circle. The gallery grave has a row of stones parallel to the north wall of the tomb with a kerb of rubble packing behind it. It formerly had a long mound. Three levels of burial were identified on excavation. The upper floor yielded 12 Bell-beakers which were each surrounded by flat stones constructed so as to form a protective miniature cist.

The second monument comprises a slab-lined cist, with internal dimensions of 1.2m by 1m, covered by a rectangular capstone. The kerb, comprised of upright slabs of varying height, forms a slightly flattened circle of diameter 4.2m. The rubble packing inside the kerb suggested a cairn over a bell-shaped core of clay.
