This low, circular, stony mound, highest on the north- side, seems to be the last remains of a round cairn. It measures 65' in diameter and 1' to 1 1/2' high, with a shallow depression, 30' across, in the centre. Probing showed that the whole area is covered with stones.

A much reduced cairn, now under cultivation; generally as described by Woodham.

Field Visit (24 August 1943)
Three hundred yards S of Inch farmhouse, just below the 150ft contour, is a mound of earth mixed with stones some 2ft to 2ft 6in high. The top is very uneven but not definitely hollow; the whole is covered in bracken. The work measures overall some 68ft N to S by 60ft E to W. No distinct ditch is visible. The work does not therefore seem to fall into the same category as the ring-works SW of Newton.
