'The Hump' is a Bronze Age bowl barrow which is located in a field about 300 metres north of Ballaleece House.  It is ditchless, and is now fern and grass-covered, and has been used as a site for depositing stones lifted during field clearance.  The barrow has a diameter of 15.0 metres and an average height of 1.7 metres. 


Excavations were undertaken on the barrow by Fleure in 1937, revealing a short cist in the centre of a well-constructed cairn. The body of the cairn consisted of alternating layers of stones and sand. The cist contained no relics but was apparently undisturbed. A fine example of a flint blade with several serrated concave notches was found in the material of the mound.
