Archaeology

The site of a possible prehistoric burial cairn. It is a rather irregular ditchless mound with an approximate diameter of 10.0 metres and height to the southeast of 0.4 metres.  It has a considerable content of both large and small stones, many of the latter being piled on the top of the mound. The larger stones, which are mainly quartz blocks, are exposed in the sides and at the base.  The small stones may represent field clearing.  One large stone is on edge on the top of the mound, it measures 0.8 metres by 0.5 metres by 0.1 metres thick. The mound lies on land falling to the northwest.
