Burnt mound

What is recorded here

Situated in a broad fold on a gentle S-facing slope. An area of burnt and broken stone (diam. c. 25m) is reportedly visible when ploughed, with a N-S stream immediately to the E. Burnt spread (WA015-085001-) is to the W, on the other side of the stream. It was not visible at the time of inspection because it was in pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore.
