Description
Thought to have been a round cairn, 20-25m in diameter, with a central megalithic chamber, the present form of the monument, a sub-rectangular drystone enclosure, c.10m square and 2.0m high, is thought to result from systematic treasure hunting/excavation.
The mound survives to 0.8m high and a possible capstone, 2.5m by 1.5m crowns the rubble fill of the enclosure.
