NF86NW 21 827 676.

'On the summit (elevation 48m) are extensive rubble remains of a long cairn about 10m wide and 28m long, oriented at about 248 degrees with respect to true N. At N end are 2.0m wide orthostat and large wall stones of an empty chamber approximately 1.5m by 1.0m. There may be a second chamber near the centre. Two relatively modern circular shielings or beehive houses, and a small cairn, the latter marking summit of hill, have been built on the long cairn. 6m to SE are flat stones looking like roof slabs but more probably bedrock'.
