There is now only one burnt mound, at HY 5123 0651, it measures 16.0m NW to SE 10.0m NE to SW and has a maximum height of 1.7m. It has been disturbed on the NW and W and excavation on the SE has uncovered a structure 2.5m long by 1.0m wide, and 2.0m east of this, a tank about 1.5m. square 0.7m deep, both of these being formed by flat stones. The compartments, in the structure, mentioned above could not be identified as the stones forming them have now collapsed into the main structure. Mr. Garrioch said that he made the "excavation" described
by RCAHMS 1946 and that he sent the "crude stone implements" found at the Nat Mus Ant Scot. (Information from Mr R W Garrioch, Hawill).
Surveyed at 1/2500.
