Block Eary Shieling Mound (1070.10P)
Archaeology
The site of a cruciform feature within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date.
It is a large irregular mound of four arms partly surmounted by a modern wall. Its average height is 1.5 metres. It has been interpreted as a group of elongated huts or some central feature of the settlement. It has also been suggested as a funerary or ritual monument.
