What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope, c. 15m W of a stream. A kidney-shaped heather-covered mound (11.5m NE-SW; 7.6m NW-SE; H 0.9m) of burnt material. The opening (3.2m NW-SE; 2.3m NE-SW) faces into a marshy area to the NW. An oval mound (4m NE-SW; 3.8m NW-SE; H 0.4m), separated from the main mound by a level area, may have originally formed the tip of the NW arm.
