Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope in wet, upland terrain. A line of three closely set, upright stones orientated NE-SW. The largest, to the NE, measures 0.52m H (L 0.8m), the middle stone is 0.49m H (L 0.53m) and the SW stone is 0.62m H (L 0.45m). Approx. 5m to the SW there are four embedded stones arranged in pairs - possible double walling. This possible walling, running NW-SE, is 1.5m long and c. 0.7m wide. The largest stone is 0.37m high. The distance from the three uprights to the end of the walling is 6.3m. The landowner has dumped a number of boulders on and near the walling, these are loose. The possible remains of a much denuded tomb.
