Burnt mound (or possibly two burnt mounds) quarried at centre. Total dimensions c.17 x 9m, with maximum surviving height c.1.5m. Composition of small burnt stones.
Individual dimensions, to N c.8.5 x 7.5m and to S c.9 x 8m. Royal Commission inventory (RCAHMS 1946 no. 1200) denotes site as representing two mounds although it seems equally likely that present form is result of quarrying from the centre of a single large mound.
J R Hunter, 1984.
