The most southerly mound of three (HU33SE 50-2) is situated c.3m to the east of the road 52m south of the first mound; it is in the west corner of a field. Most of the outer mound seems to have been removed, what remains being c.3m in diameter and c.0.5m high. The remnants for the most part consist of large earthfast stones with earth between; four of these form the sides and top of a triangular cist.
