The monument comprises a burial cairn of prehistoric date.
The monument lies in an area of rough grassland at around 10m OD, located between the public road and a low cliff. It comprises a cairn with a diameter of approximately 9.3m and measuring about 1m in height. A large slab protruding from the centre of the cairn may be the dislodged capstone of a central cist. Cairns of this type are funerary monuments dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Age, and may be expected to contain material evidence relating to their mode of construction and use.
The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is circular with a diameter of 30m, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
