A burnt mound is visible on the side of a drainage ditch flanking the SE side of the forestry road about 400m N of the farmstead known as The Gables (NX06NE 21). The original shape of the mound is not known, but the visible part measures 4m from NE to SW, parallel to the line of the ditch by 2.8m transversely; in section, however, the deposit is 6.2m long and 0.6m high, packed with fragments of burnt stones and charcoal.
