What is recorded here
In level, wet pasture. A slightly raised, circular area (diam. 19m; H. c. 0.2m) noted in 1985 (SMR file) is visible as a slight rise, the precise extent of which is now difficult to determine on the ground. Neighbouring field boundaries shown to N, E and S on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map have been removed.

A Neolithic burial mound; likely dates to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its presence indicates early human settlement and ritual activity in the Kill West area, though its precise function and wider significance remain unclear due to poor preservation and lack of detailed excavation.
