The site of a well-preserved sheiling mound within the Block Eary settlement, which is thought to be of early medieval date. It is a very irregular mound with a tail stepped down to the south.  Its length north to south is 13.0 metres and its average width is 8.0 metres. Its average height is 1.5 metres. It appears to have held a building stepped up in two stages - the upper part appears to have been rectangular.
