Full Description

"Located under the eastern end of a modern clearance cairn (5.5) the truncated remains of this kerbed cairn measure 2 x 1 metres and are orientated from west to east. The kerb of this structure is clear and well formed on its south and east sides, however, there is clear evidence that the structure has been truncated on its west side with perhaps as much as half of its area being lost or lying under the modern cairn." (Burgess 2004, 81)
