Sited on a low ridge. A ruined gallery stands towards the SSE end of a mound, 14.5m long, 7m in greatest width and 0.75m high. The gallery, now 3.5m long, is closed by a backstone at the SSE. Three sidestones remain at its more westerly side and four at the E. It narrows from 1.9m wide at the open NNW end to 1.1m near the backstone. The status of a number of low stones beyond the gallery sides is uncertain as is the function of a large set stone 1m SE of the backstone.
