There is hardly anything of this cairn to be seen above ground level. There is a walkers' cairn built on top of it, which makes it eassy to locate. Without that it would be quite tricky. You can just see the outer edges of the cairn as a faint mark in the peat. 60m SW there is another possible cairn that is actually more pronounced.
It was interesting to see that this cairn was built slightly down the southern slopes of the hill and not on the summit. I believe this is because wehn viewed from the summit of Keadeen to the north it appears to be on the summit. If it was place on the top of the hill it would not do so.
