Field Visit (18 May 1995)
This U-shaped burnt mound is situated beside a small watercourse in a grass and bracken-covered gully on the SW flank of Cnoc Dubh. It measures 11.4m from NE to SW by 10m transversely and 0.6m in height, opening out to the NE. Mole casts on top of the mound contain cracked stone and black soil. To the E of the burnt mound an earth-and-stone bank runs around the E, S and W sides of the gully, forming an enclosure (ROG95 989), measuring about 50m from E to W by 35m transversely, against the much steeper N side of the gully. Adjacent to the W side of the enclosure bank and to the N of the burnt mound there are the wasted and overgrown stony footings of a hut (NC 7122 0579) which is aligned from N to S.
