What is recorded here

Situated on a NNW-facing slope in poorly-drained, lowlying ground adjacent to the SSW bank of the Easky River. Very high (H c. 2m at SSE; c. 10m at NNW), steep-sided, irregularly-shaped mound (dims. of top 20.4m NNW-SSE; 15.1m ENE-WSW) which was formed by scarping the steep, naturally-occurring slope. Some naturally-occurring limestone formations are visible in the W side of the mound. At the upper edge of the mound at SE is a largely grassed-over, short length of a drystone wall (Wth. 1.1m; max. H 0.1m) which may be portion of a defensive feature. Only ephemeral remains of this are visible at the remainder of the perimeter. At the foot of the mound from SSE-S-WSW and from NE-E-ESE are waterlogged areas whose outer extents are defined by modern stone field boundaries. Compiled by: Patrick F.
