In rough pasture, on an elevation on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. A wedge-shaped chamber (L 2.6m; Wth 1.3m at the SW end; Wth 0.9m at the NE end) aligned NE-SW and closed by a backstone at NE. There are two sidestones on the SE side and three on the NW side. A single roofstone (2.1m x 2m) slopes down towards the NE end. The tomb is set within a circular, largely grass-covered, cairn of stones (diam. c. 10m; H 1m), the top of which is level with the roofstone. A relict field boundary (KE093-093002-) is in the immediate vicinity to the NE and another relict field boundary (KE093-093003-) is c. 60m to the W.
