Visited during the course of the Orkney Barrows Project, two of the three mounds in this group could not be located. The heather was high and the landscape was distorted by peat cutting, so they may still be present.
Located mound: HY 37840 20320. Bowl-shaped. Measures 10.0 by 10.9m. Height 1.2m. It is prominent from the E on skyline, and visible to the S & W for 1km.
