Notes

HER: A turf-covered stone ? clearance mound 3.3m in diameter and 0.5m high. The visible fist sized stones appear to be solely of the bluish local granite, some with fine quartz veins. The impression is that this particular type of coloured stone was selected for the mound. Investigated and surveyed at 1:2500 scale as part of the Shaugh Moor project in 1997.
