On the north bank of a minor stream, a braided tributary of Crognant, lies a burnt mound. The mound is turf-covered and overgrown with tussocky grass. It is slightly oval on plan and measures 13m (N-S) by 11.5m and 1m high. The mound is indented on its south-west, streamward, side where there has been some slight erosion but it is otherwise intact. Probing reveals the mound to be made up of small grade stones, though not the `scrunchy? gravel grade typical of others, and some larger stones are also visible. The finer make up of similar mounds gives them a better-drained, well-grazed, greener sward. Such is not the case here.
