This cairn is marked on the 2nd and 3rd editions of the OS 6-inch maps. A cross was marked here on the OS 1st edition map (surveyed 1834). The cairn consists of a low subcircular mound 5m x 4m x 1m high. Many other similar mounds, some of definite modern origin, dot the island including several close by. There is no trace of any cross at this location.
