A low, widely-spread mound of stones c. 15m in diameter. It is much disturbed by the erection of a field boundary across it and by the digging of two pits in it. There are possible indications of a kerb on the NW side and one stone 1.5m × 0.75m now recumbent may have been formerly upright. It is situated on a fairly level ridge on the S slope of Asdevlin Hill. In 1942, pieces of white quartz, burnt bone and a plano-convex flint knife were found at the cairn
(M.R. Colhoun).
