Notes
HER: A turf covered stony mound set on a gentle south facing slope of rough grassland. It measures 6.4 metres diameter and 0.6 metres high and may have been built on a platform around the southern side. Several stones protrude around the perimeter but there would appear to be no kerb as such. Apart from the slight robbing in the south the mound appears to be intact.References
