Only three mounds were located on the NE slopes of the Hill of Heddle at about 200ft OD.

Mound A, at HY 3586 1329, and mound B, at HY 3596 1317, are as described by the Commission.

Mound C, at HY 3592 1314, measuring 10.0m in diameter and 1.0m in height, contains a large depression 5.8m long and 3.0m wide.

Mound D was not found, and has probably been destroyed by quarry operations.

These are almost certainly barrows: the name "Paerkeith" is not known locally.

Surveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS(NKB) 29 April 1966.
