In the Howe Cleuch between Ewe Gair and Little Hill, 1.3Km N of Daerhead there is a burnt mound at 400m OD. It is located on the N bank of the Howe Cleuch burn on a terrace and is 35m W of the bridge over the burn. The mound measures 8m x 5m x 0.6m high. Some earthfast rocks are around the S side and a small pile of stones lies beside it.
When tested the mound was found to consist of small angular reddened heat shattered rocks set in a matrix of charcoal enriched soil.
T Ward 1992.
