The site of a mound of unknown significance.  It has been conjectured that it may represent a medieval motte or a Viking mound. A picture of 1795 shows the mound without a building on it though it has been suggested that it once held a summer house and it may have been constructed as a viewing platform.


It is generally circular in plan and grass covered, situated on a natural rise.  It is flat topped with no trace of building foundations. It has an upper diameter of 5.5 metres and is 2.0 metres high in the north. There is no trace of a ditch nor of a bailey. A field bank approaching from the east is built upon the lower slopes in the north of the mound and continues to the west. If this were a defensive structure it would have been sited 15 metres to the west where it would have had advantage of a steep sided natural drop on two sides i.e. to the south and to the west. It seems likely that it may have been built for a view point, such as a summer house, since the extra 2.0 metres in height bring into view the distant hills which are otherwise not visible at this spot.
