Full Description

NF96SW 8 913 627.

'Between two low rock ridges are extensive remains of a large rubble structure, probably a long cairn, about 55m long and 20m broad, oriented aproximately EW. There is no evidence of chambers but one long slab is visible in the original structure. Six relatively modern rectangular drystone structures have been built on and beside it, mostly 2m by 3m internally. At the N side is evidence of a low stone setting representing possibly either original kerbing or recent walling. At the W end are two grassy hollows about 3m diameter'.
