NR 7939 9246,. On the rocky summit of the ridge, about 20.0m N of the homestead (NR79SE 3) are the remains of a small structure enclosing an area 6.5m in diameter. Forming the perimeter is a close-set kerb of large boulders and the interior is slightly raised with a few stones evident. No entrance is certain, nor is any wall thickness evident. The structure resembles a kerbed cairn, but only excavation can reveal its true function.
