On the N bank of the Lon Mor at a height of 160m OD is a large number of single and twin-celled structures. There are a minimum of 17 units, many with a rectangular main cell with smaller circular cell(s) attached. The mounds containing them are prominent and in common with many others, lie adjacent to a waterfall.
