What is recorded here
Situated on elevated grassland with good views. Low roughly circular shaped earth and stone mound (approx. diam. 12m; H 0.3m) best preserved at W with some dumping of field clearance debris at E. The centre of the mound appears to have a hollow depression but this feature was difficult to interpret due to the growth of nettles and other vegetation on the mound.
