That at 3670 1701 with two slabs on W side is as described;

these probably not a burial cist, such structures being often

found at sides or on, burnt mounds. That at 3668 1701 is an

insignificant rise showing a few slabs in rabbit burrows. No

trace at 3666 1701, position coincides with newly-dug drainage

ditch which must have destroyed mound. 3666 1705 is on line of

same ditch where it debouches into the stream. There is a big

mound of clay and stones here, but this looks like modern spoil.

The burnt mound may be under it but no burnt material is visible.

At 3666 1701 are two parallel and contiguous earthfast erect

slabs, no mound associated with them but they may be a relic of

an ancient structure.
