Full Description

A notible circular grassy mound with lazy beds running over it. There are occaissional large stones around the periphery of the mound, however the eastern elevated side shows a concentration of upright and angled stones sticking out of the cultivation ridging; these possibly indicate an oval shape.
It is clear that the lazy beds are the final event on this feature, the visible stone could indicate an earlier dwelling; reusing stone from an earlier feature? Overall this feature gives the impression of originally being a prehistoric structure; possibly a burial monument.
