For field-system, lazy-beds and field clearance cairns between NG 2295 0509 and NG 2371 0556, see NG20NW 131.01.

This large grass-grown mound lies in an area of lazy-bed cultivation and is overlain by a subrectangular enclosure on the SE (for which, see NG20NW 131.01). The mound is subrectangular on plan and measures 14m from NNW to SSE by 7m and 0.8m in height; it has been damaged by rabbit burrowing, but from the upcast of rabbit scrapes several sherds of pottery have been recovered, together with a possible fragment of a shale object. The enclosure, which is depicted on the current edition of the OS 1:10,000 map, measures 5.5m from NNW to SSE by 4.6m within a stone wall 0.9m in thickness and 0.6m in height.
(Canna 439, 991).

Sherds of pottery, a flint flake and half of a broken spindle-whorl were recovered from the upcast of rabbit burrows into this mound during fieldwork in May 2001.
