The cairn consists of a platform-like terrace of stone and measures 7.6m long and up to 1m high above the ground level on its SE side. A quantity of quartz is evident in its composition. The landowner indicated that the cairn was originally larger, and that it was faced on its downslope side. O'Connell reported that a 'bronze staff was found in it (1939a, 31), but the present location of this object is unknown. The site is locally referred to as the 'Cloughane'.
