Summary
Five oval or circular earthwork mounds are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, and three are visibe as pale cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards. It is possible that they are the remains of Bronze Age barrows, but may be of geological origin.

Five mounds are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on a hilltop north of Priestaford House. They are approximately 12 to 14 metres wide and are aligned along the line of the ridge as might be expected of Bronze Age barrows, but they are irregular in shape and may be of geological origin. They are visible as pale cropmarks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards. They may be associated with a curvilinear bank (MDV123312).
