There is a dome-shaped, circular, grass-covered mound, four to five feet in height and about 15 feet in diameter, probably a burial cairn, a little to the south-west of the cup-marked boulderd (NN52SE 2), in a field opposite the small-holding called Druidsfield.

NN 5872 2308. No trace of a mound was seen to the south-west of the cup-marked boulders, but a little to the north-west is a turf-covered mound, c.9.0m in diameter and 1.4m maximum height, somewhat mutilated by nearby house building. It appears to be natural and is probably the mound described by Lacaille (1927).

The mound indicated by previous OS field surveyor was removed during recent garden landscaping, but no local knowledge of it or its destruction was obtained. Numerous stone dumps, some turf-covered, in this area are clearly the result of field clearance associated with the minor depopulation nearby (see NN52SE 5).
