A small mound measuring about 2.5m in diameter and no more than 0.3m in height is situated 17m to the SSW of a the westernmost of two turf ring-banks that are probably sheepfolds (Canmore ID: 49961). Stamping on the mound indicates that it is composed of soil and it is likely to be the remains of a pile of unused turf created when the sheepfolds were being constructed. There is no evidence to suggest that the mound may have been barrow, an earlier interpretation that was largely driven by its location adjacent the ring-bank, which was then believed to be of prehistoric date (RCAHMS 1967, 54).
