Full Description
A very stony, partly grass-covered mound, 5 by 5 by 0.5m in maximum height, which may be natural but which has, on the upper surface, large stones with a gap between which may represent a chamber. C Batey 1982.
This is one of a number of field clearance heaps contemporary with the nearby crofting complex of Borg, abandoned in the 18th/19th century. Visited by OS (J M) 3 August 1982.
