Full Description
NH63SE 39 6800 3360
A massive earthen mound to the N of the ring cairn (NH63SE 3) and E of the cup-marked stone (NH63SE 16). The mound is marked on the 1:2500 OS map, but is treated as a natural feature. It is oval in plan, c. 35.0m N-S by c. 20.0m E-W, and stands c. 3.5m high. Although there are numerous glacial hillocks in the valley, the sides of this monument rise so steeply from the surrounding ground that it seems unlikely that it is a natural feature. Where the body of the mound had been exposed by animal erosion, it can be seen to be made up of earth and very little stone.
Informatiom from S T Driscoll (see archive MS/550, 2).
This mound is composed of gravel and small stones, and appears to be entirely natural.
Visited by RCAHMS (SDB) 5 November 1992.
