Notes

"A low flat-topped mound measuring 7.3m north-south by 7.0m and standing a maximum of 0.4m high. An amorphous hollow lies slightly west of centre. While this feature appears in form to be a prehistoric cairn it overlies ridge and furrow and is associated with a number of tin pits that have been adapted for military training. At the earliest it is probably a post medieval stone clearance heap". Author visited site 19/02/23. A very disturbed feature consistent with the description on the HER quoted above.
