The entrance is on the east side. Although the structure is partially destroyed, you can still enter one of the cells. As antiquarian Erskine Beveridge believed, a second and third chamber must also exist. Not later than 1911, Beveridge excavated cairn and its environs, and discovered evidence of cremation burials, as well as fragments of ceramics (some with a characteristic ornament), wood ash, the remains of burnt bones, a flint arrowhead, a scraper and a fragment of talc with a hole.
