NT14NE 37 1852 4670.
On a fairly level shelf at the foot of the steep W slopes of Green Knowe, overlooking the Fingland Burn from a height of 920ft OD, there is a small barrow situated close to a pair of ring enclosures (NT14NE 21). Excavations revealed that the barrow was composed entirely of earth and measures 14ft in diameter and 9ins in greatest height. It was found to be covering a small pit measuring 2ft 6ins by 1ft which was dug into the natural gravel subsoil to a depth of about 8ins. From the filling of the pit, of heavily corroded iron was found resting on the natural surface at a point 5ft 6ins from the centre of the barrow.
