Mound, Knowe of Heog, Feal. On the highest point of a small but precipitous rocky promontory, known as The Heog, which juts out into the Wick of Tresta on the S. coast of the island, and about a quarter of a mile S. of the Ripple Stone, is a prominent hillock, some 25 ft. in diameter and 2 ft. in height, marked on the O.S. map as a ‘tumulus’ with the name ‘Knowe of Heog’. It is now mostly covered with turf but seems to be at least partly artificial. There is no evidence of the period to which it belongs.
