The monument comprises the remains of a prehistoric burial cairn surviving as a grass-covered stony mound.
The monument lies on a prominent ridge overlooking the W end of Loch Tummel at around 170m OD. It comprises a mound some 12-14m in diameter by around 2.5m high. A small quarry has disturbed the E side of the mound and exposed its stony composition. Adjacent to the SE of the mound is a stretch of an old field dyke, some 36m long, itself potentially of some antiquity.
The area to be scheduled encompasses the mound and an area around it in which traces of associated activity may be expected to survive. It is circular with a diameter of 50m as marked in red on the accompanying map.
