Full Description
NF77SE 20 7933 7045.
A sub-circular grass-covered stony mound measuring 14.6m NW-SE by 12.1m transversely and centred 1.2m high. On its top are the outlines of a sub-rectangular building. A large upright stone on the west side and another smaller one on the south slope of the mound give the mound a cairn-like appearance. To the west of the mound there are a number of large stones, apparently in an artificial setting, but nothing could be made of them.
Visited by OS 15 June 1965.
