These two mounds lie in an area of lazy-bed cultivation on the floor of a shallow gully, while an enclosure is situated on a rocky ridge to the SE (NG20NW 131.03). The enclosure is situated to the S of an old field-wall that runs along the lip of the gully. Polygonal on plan, it measures 9.1m from N to S by 8m transversely within a rubble wall 0.9m in thickness and 0.4m in height. The two mounds lie 20m to the WNW and 25m to the NNW respectively, and both contain a certain amount of stones. The first measures 8.1m by 5.4m and 0.6m in height and appears to be overlain by the old field-wall, while the second measures 7.6m by 5.1m and 0.4m in height.
