What is recorded here
On a natural rise in low-lying, rough pastureland. A number of drains cut through the field. Only the NE-SE quadrant of this mound (4m N-S; H 0.5m) survives; elsewhere it has been dug out. A mature ash tree is growing on top of it. A possible cist (GA101-086002-) is associated. This monument was brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.
