This is a cist, a type of burial chamber built from flat slabs arranged on edge to form a small enclosure, typically used during the Bronze Age to contain human remains. It is a modest, precise thing: measuring roughly 1.84 metres east to west and just under a metre north to south, it was constructed with careful attention to the placement of individual stones, even if centuries of growth and weathering have since done their best to reclaim it.

Three sides of the cist remain upright, their slabs still set on edge as they were when first positioned. The longer sidestones run along the north and south, the northern one at least 1.6 metres in length, the southern slightly shorter at 1.3 metres. A single endstone closes the eastern end. The western end tells a different story: its stone, narrower than the others, has collapsed and now lies flat, heavily overgrown. A loose slab rests in the western interior, its original purpose, whether a cover stone displaced over time or something else entirely, no longer certain. The whole structure sits embedded within the cairn, a mound of stones that would originally have been raised as a deliberate monument over the burial below, marking it as a place of significance in the landscape.
