NX16NE 124 1771 6686.

A burnt mound is situated on the edge of Lagnabenae Moss 370m NE of Stair Lodge. Little trace of the mound can be seen on the surface of the moss, but a drainage ditch cuts through it from E to W, revealing a deposit of densely packed burnt stones at least 0.3m thick over a distance of 2.5m.

A box section was dug along the line of the ditch. The section was recorded and sampled for C-14 and possible TL dating. No structural evidence was apparent.
