What is recorded here

A narrow, oblong or slightly wedge-shaped mound (4.8m WNW–ESE; 1.8m NNE-SSW at W end, 1-1.2m at E end; H 0.6m), largely sod-covered, with rounded or irregular-shaped stones and boulders protruding along the sides and top. The boulders along the two long sides of the mound are close-set and occur in a single course. The broader W end of the mound incorporates a greater concentration of stones. A shallow depression (Wth c. 0.3m), denuded of sod, which encircles the mound, was probably caused by farm stock. According to local tradition, the mound marks the site of a burial.
