Field Visit (6 June 1991)
NT10NW 32 1427 0900
The remains of a well-preserved burnt mound are situated a short distance downstream from three others (NT10NW 22). Roughly crescentic on plan and with a hollow on its WSW side, the mound measures 9.5m in diameter and up to 0.8m in height. The nature of the mound was tested by the removal of a turf revealing a mass of reddened angular fragments of stone and pieces of charcoal within a matrix of loose black soil.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS), 6 June 1991.
Listed as burnt mound.
