There are two burnt mounds beside an unnamed burn at the base of the steep valley sides and at the N edge of the shrubby trees that extend northwards from Old Suisgill Lodge. Lifting sods from both revealed cracked, reddened stones set in a matrix of black soil and charcoal.
A. NC 8993 2457 This oval burnt mound is situated on the N side of the burn. It measures 11m from NW to SE by 9m transversely and 0.8m in height and has three distinct peaks. On the NW, two of the peaks are set parallel to each other defining what may be a trough area.
