This burnt mound lies on the S side of Craig Cleuch at the foot of Clark Fell. Crescentic on plan, with the hollow in its open side towards the N, it measures 8.5m from E to W by 6m transversely and is 0.6m high. Removal of a turf from the mound revealed a core comprising reddened angular stone and fragments of charcoal within a matrix of dark brown earth.
