A burnt mound was discovered during field investigation in 1961; kidney-shaped with a hollow into the centre from south, and blocked at its outer end by a smaller turf-covered mound in a fashion similar to some of burnt mounds of Orkney. Two small scrapes in the side have exposed the content of small cracked stones, some fire-reddened. Surveyed at 1:10 560.
