The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large-scale mapping published in 1870 shows a large burial mound at the grid reference provided.  A Neolithic stone axehead, of GRoup VI Langdale type, was found in the tumulus and is now in the Manx Museum collections.  The mound was described as 'razed' by 1930, and is today completely ploughed down.


The place-name Le Mod, or Ny Mod, derived from the same root as 'moot', or meeting, used to be attached to the mound.
