Full Description

A clearly visible raised area on the edge of a large area of deep peat. The general area has been subject to extensive peat cutting.
This feature appears as a circular mound covered in a thick grassy vegetation, an odd stone is visible here and there. The feature has had three or four irregular compartments set into it, which are interpreted as either later modifications or the effects of material removal (or both) from the original monument.
This feature is situated within the peat and is located close to a high piont on the coastal cliffs, giving it an easterly viewpiont. Its dimensions are approx 13m diameter and 0.5m height.
