Measuring roughly six metres east to west and just under six metres north to south, and rising no more than about ninety centimetres at its highest point, this subcircular cairn is easy to miss. What makes it worth a second look is the cist sitting at its summit. A cist is a small stone-lined box grave, typically constructed to hold human remains, and the presence of one here at the cairn's crown suggests this was no casual accumulation of stone but a deliberate and probably ceremonial construction.

The ridge on which the cairn stands is semi-karst terrain, meaning the underlying limestone has been partially dissolved and sculpted by rainwater over millennia, leaving a characteristically bare and exposed landscape. The cairn commands wide views in most directions, broken only by slightly higher ground to the south-west and north-west. At the north-western edge of the mound, two earthfast stones survive as traces of what was once a kerb, the ring of upright or set stones that would have defined the cairn's perimeter and given it a more formal, bounded appearance. The site sits within a broader multiperiod field system, indicating that this area was worked and settled across several distinct historical periods, with the cairn predating most of what surrounds it. It was listed as a cemetery cairn in the Record of Monuments and Places in 1996.
