A complex site consisting of a 3.8m diameter central mound, with a 1m wide a 0.2m high rubble bank 0.9m from the foot of the mound on the e side. 2m beyond this is a 0.5m high scarp. On the w side of the mound and 2.5m from it is a slight bank measuring 1m wide and 0.2m high. This is probably a ring cairn with a central mound, although it might be a badly robbed stone hut circle.
