ND24NE 33 27566 45802
This grass-grown burnt mound is situated in a loop of the Achairn Burn some 130m SSW of the remains of Oult-ruag farmstead (ND34NE 21). Oval on plan, it measures about 5.4m from NW to SE by 3.1m transversely and 0.3m in height on the SW. Removal of a turf from the top of the mound revealed a core of small angular fragments of burnt stone and small pieces of charcoal within a matrix of loose, brown earth.
