Two flat-topped burial-cairns are situated in a locally prominent position at the SE end of a ridge on which there is a also scatter of small cairns (see NC 70NW 58).
The NW cairn (ROG95 181, NC 7087 0660, OS'A'), which lies on the crest of the ridge, measures 5.9m in diameter by 0.4m in height and is surrounded by an intermittent boulder kerb. There is a small depression in the centre.
The second cairn (ROG95 180, NC 7089 0658, OS'B') is situated on a slight spur projecting to the SE of the ridge. It measures 5m in diameter by 0.5m in height and is bounded by an intermittent kerb of boulders.
