The monument comprises the remains of a burial cairn of probable Bronze Age date.
The monument lies some 300m SSW of a larger cairn on the summit of Stronend, in rough pasture, at around 495m OD. It comprises a cairn some 6m in diameter and about 0.6m high. The cairn is overgrown and apparently undisturbed by later structures or excavation. It may be expected to contain the remains of Bronze Age burials.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the cairn and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 35m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
