The monument comprises the remains of a cairn, located at approximately 320m OD on a southeast-facing slope. This monument was scheduled in 1961, but the original scheduling inadequately defines the area. The monument is being rescheduled to clarify the extent of the protected area.
The cairn is roughly oval in shape, approximately 30m in diameter and 3m high. It has spread slightly and has been robbed on the NE.
The area to be scheduled is a circle 60m in diameter centred on the cairn, to include the remains of the cairn and an area around in which traces of activities associated with the construction and use of the monument may survive, as shown in red on the attached map extract.
