What is recorded here

Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 35) as following: 'Small, low, roughly circular mound (Diam. 3.4m N-­S x 3.5m E-­W) with traces of shallow ditch, 1.5m wide, most clearly visible on SSW side, situated on flattish summit of Frewin Hill. Site was overgrown with nettles when examined, apparently following line of ditch but making this low-­relief monument difficult to see; as such, height of mound could not be ascertained. Large cairn or tumulus (WM011-133----) lies 10m to ESE and 8m to SW of this is a second tiny barrow (WM011-132----). Barrow appears to lie on line between large tumulus (WM011-133----) and bowl-­barrow (WM011-131----) to ENE. As with nearby WM011-132---- to S, ground slopes down sharply immediately to W.
