Summary

A very irregular mound of stones, about 6m across and up to 0.5m high, in a pasture field. Most of the stones are 'clean' and unweathered, typical of sub-surface material and have been piled on some large 'grounders' which just protrude from the turf. Almost certainly a dump of clearance stones of relatively recent date.
