At HU 4043 1186 are two burnt mounds as described by the RCAHMS. The larger, east mound is hollowed, revealing the scant remains of an enigmatic structure, probably a Neolithic/Bronze Age house, with upright slabs giving an internal diameter of c.3.0m. It cannot be decided whether the burnt mound overlays an earlier structure, or whether the mound has been hollowed in antiquity to accomodate a later structure. Only two stones remain of the "cist-like construction" in the smaller W mound.
Surveyed at 1/2500.
