Notes

HER: A low rectangular-shaped mound with a pronounced lynchet on its downhill side. Lying on a gentle west-facing slope and covered by close cropped moorland turf it is 6.0m long, 3.0m wide and up to 0.4m high. Slight linear depressions on each of the long sides suggest side ditches. There are no visible stones or boulders in the mound. Its origin and function are not clear.
