  The existing monument measures 47.18 by 18.28 metres (154.8 ft × 60.0 ft). It consists of several mounds of pink-granite stones of great length. The southwest end of the cairn has been robbed. Several holes have been discovered on the southeastern edge of the cairn. The Arbuthnot Museum in Peterhead houses two stone axes that were found at Cairn Catto in 1885.
