Mound, Ballagioch Hill.
This mound is situated a quarter of a mile WNW of Greenfield farmhouse on the eastern extremity of the level summit-plateau of Ballagioch Hill at a height of a little over 1,000 feet OD. It measures about 70 feet in diameter and stands to a maximum height of 4 feet above ground level. A few boulders which may represent the remains of a kerb or revetment protrude through the turf at widely-spaced intervals on the perimeter, and what appears to be a small quarry lies in the SE quadrant. The surface of the mound is uneven and has been used in modern times as the site for bonfires.
The structure is probably a denuded cairn, but the possibility that it might be the ruin of a circular stone fort cannot be ruled out.
