A S Henshall 1963, visited 1958.

A mound at NN 6794 9950, as described by Henshall possibly a long cairn but impossible to say without excavation. Mutilated by erosion on the SW side and by the construction of a building and a corn-drying kiln on the W and E respectively.
Visited by OS (N K B) 28 September 1965.

Doubtful cairn. Probably a glacial knoll supplemented with field clearance on edge of river terrace.
Visited by OS (A A) 16 May 1974.

The mound recorded by Henshall (1963) is not that described by Blood, but is equally natural. The NGR in Henshall is wrong, and the mound she described is at approximately NN 989 996; it is clearly a linear glacial feature.
