NC91NE 55 9534 1747

At NC 9534 1747, in a sheltered position in rising moorland open to the NE, is a burnt mound; it is roughly oval, measuring some 14.0m E-W by 12.0m, with a depression in the E side opening out onto the bed of a dried-up stream. The mound is 1.5m high and the content of heat-stained stones and blackened earth is exposed by erosion and rabbit burrowing.

Surveyed at 1:10,560.

Visited by OS (J M) 12 May 1976.
