Mound in Conor's Island

In an enclosure (SL002-027001-). There are four low, grass-covered mounds located to W of centre in the interior of the enclosure. They are arranged in a rectangle, set 15-16m apart E−W and 7-8m apart N−S. The NE mound (9m NW−SE; 4m NE−SW; H 0.3m) is elongated and irregular in shape but the other three are roughly circular (diam. 4-6m; H 0.3-0.5m). Stones protruding through the sod cover suggest that the mounds are field clearance heaps, most likely associated with relict cultivation ridges which traverse both the interior of the enclosure and the surrounding field.
