What is recorded here
Prominently sited c. 60m W of a hill summit with panoramic views in all directions except E. A low, circular, grass-covered, earthen mound (diam 17m; H 1.5m at E-2m at N) has a large central depression (av. diam. 3m) which may be the result of modern disturbance, or might be the remains of a collapsed central chamber. A small earthfast boulder (visible dims. L 0.6m; H 0.5m) at the mound's base at N may be a kerb stone, while a second similar stone, just W of the mound's base at W may be a displaced kerbstone. Low whin-cover is starting to establish on the mound SW-WNW.
