At NC 7388 0655, on the edge of damp ground by a settlement of hut circles (NC70NW 18), is a kidney-shaped burnt mound, 9.5 by 6.5m across and 0.8m high. Probing through the heather and peat-cover reveals friable and reddened fragments of stone.

Visited by OS (J M) 9 April 1981.

This C-shaped burnt mound is situated beside a boggy sump within a field-system (NC 70NW 18), and measures 9.5m from WSW to ESE by 6.1m transversely and 0.7m in height, opening out to the SSE. An edge-set boulder on the S side of the hollow in the mound may have formed part of a trough. Lifting a sod revealed densely packed cracked stone set in a matrix of black soil.
