HY75SE 15 7673 5491

A large, sandy, oval mound lies 200 yds SW of Parkhouse farm (HY 7679 5501) in the middle of a cultivated field about midway between the public road and the shore. It measures 140ft NW-SE by 115ft transversely, and is about 7ft high. Apart from its isolation and its conspicuousness, there is no indication that the mound is other than natural. Although the crest is broken, there is little trace of stone and none of kitchen-midden refuse or burnt material.

(RCAHM apply the description of this site to HY75NE 1)
