The passage of Cairn U faces roughly south. Its cairn is over 1.5m high still and reaches above the top of the orthostats that form the cruciform passage and chamber.
The rear stones of the three chambers are all very heavily carved, although this is fading somewhat due to erosion. There is also some carving on the orthostats from the passage, but this is difficult to see/photograph due to the narrowness of the passage.
