A round cairn with four associated secondary cairns. They are

have views to the S, Eand N, but are overlooked by a hill to

earth and turf covering. Recent clearance stones dumped on top
increase the height to 1.3m. Its diameter is 18m. Two smaller
cairns are visible to the W and a further two to the E. These
