One of the entrance stones at the NNE, a quartz-veined boulder, has fallen. The other entrance stone (1m x 0.8m; H 1.4m) is the tallest stone. The flat-topped axial stone (1.6m x 0.8m; H 0.8m) stands at SSW. A boulder-burial (KE102-032003-) occupies the centre of the interior. A fulacht fia (KE102-032004-) lies c. 25m to the E.
