Towards the N end of a narrow, moderately steep-sided pasture ridge on the landscaped grounds of Furness House. An earthen enclosure (KD019-022001-) containing a standing stone (KD019-022002-) and a cist burial (KD019-022003-) stands c. 65m to the N. Archaeological excavation in the early 1980's revealed that a low, grass-covered, circular mound (diams. 17.5m N-S; 17m E-W; max H 0.6m) delimited by a kerb of large stones, was composed of earth, stone and gravel, and had a central, oval-shaped stone core overlying a small central stake hole (charcoal dated GrN-1540 + 30BP). Several pits, and two deposits of cremated bone, one of which consisted of the remains of an adult were uncovered and finds included a portion of a blue glass bracelet, and a bronze ring (Grogan 1983-84, 298-315).
