The conjectured site of an early medieval chapel or keeill, but its true purpose is not clear.  When the site was investigated by Kermode in 1910-11 he noted a circle of white quartz boulders about 7 metres in diameter and packed with small stones. It had the appearance of "a pagan burial place" and there was no sign of any building.


It survives as an oval mound measuring 15.0 metres northwest to southeast and 12.0 metres northeast to southwest which has been scooped out. Traces of a grass covered ruin, 3.0 metres wide with a maximum outer height of 0.5 metres and maximum inner height of 0.4 metres have been noted.   Several small stones and a few quartz blocks were seen in the interior but they formed no pattern. It is possible that the site is a prehistoric barrow or a hut circle, or perhaps a shieling mound.
