Coflein description:

A stony mound 8.5m in diameter and 0.5m high, 1.4m high including the more modern pile on top of it.
On the NE an arc of small limestone boulders appears to be the remains of a kerb, while on the W boulders half buried beneath the modern cairn may have formed part of an inner ring.
