This burnt mound stands in the NE corner of a field some 235m NW of Murrister farmsteading (HP60SW 175). C-shaped on plan with a hollow in its NNE side, the mound measures about 7.8m from ENE to WSW by 5.9m transversely and 0.5m in height, but it has been truncated slightly on the NNE by a drain. The mound has evidently been robbed and two large stones lie exposed in a hollow at the centre. Erosion of the surface of the mound has revealed a mass of reddened, fire-cracked, angular fragments of stone within a matrix of loose, black soil.
