There is a turf banked enclosure and a scatter of small cairns, including a possible burial cairn, on the end of a low ridge on the valley floor to the N of the River Calder. The enclosure (KING95 742) is situated on the W edge of the group of small cairns and measures 3.8m in diameter within a turf bank spread to 1.3m in thickness and 0.2m in height, with an entrance on the SW.

Towards the N side of the group there is a larger cairn (NN 6868 9978), possibly a burial cairn, which measures about 6m in diameter.
