RCAHMS 1946
Evidently a domestic structure at ND 4607 7830, surviving as a roughly circular turf-covered mound 0.6m high. The centre has been mutilated by an amateur excavation (? by Black) revealing part of a complex structure of slabs on edge the plan of which cannot be fully determined. A few limpet shells occur amongst the debris.
Surveyed at 1/10,000.
Visited by OS (AA) 8 May 1973
