NR 4659 5245. Mr Shanks pointed this feature out on the map.
It consists of three small grass-covered stony mounds fortuitously forming a semi-circle and in no way resembling an antiquity. It is similar to other stony mounds in the area (see NR45SE 20) and is probably of 18th-19th century date.
Visited by OS (BS) 24 June 1978; (undated) information from I D Shanks, 85 Frederick Crescent, Port Ellen.
