A prehistoric round barrow has been recorded as a cropmark on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1992) 440m SE of Soulseat Loch and 400m NE of Mahaar steading (NX15NW 103). It comprises two concentric ring ditches, the inner measuring about 15m in overall diameter and the outer 29m, potentially indicating a two-phase barrow. It is also visible on visualisations of elevation models derived from Airborne Laser Scanning data (Scottish Public Sector LiDAR (Phase 3) 2015-16) as a low mound, some 17m in diameter. A number of pits of unknown function and purpose are situated immediately N of the barrow.
