A modern heap of stones overlies what appears to be a cairn about 14m across, the top of which is lightly grassed over. It is partly defaced around the edge and seems to be composed of flat slabs of loose stone. The point was used as a trigonometrical station and the cairn could have been built for that purpose. The site is at the SE ·and at the highest point of a stretch of high ground. There are excellent views in all directions.
