What may be a pillow mound is located on a gentle slope above an un-named burn on the NW side of the field-system (NO56NW 18.4). It measures 7m from NE to SW by 3.5m transversely and 0.4m in maximum height. The NE end and the sides of the mound are flanked by a shallow ditch from 1.25m to 1.5m broad.
