A large grass-covered mound of stones, to the west of Bull's Paradise was excavated in 1961. A 39 foot long east-west section revealed the mound to be a mass of tumbled granite blocks. Abundant quantities of pottery from the 13th to 17th centuries was found at all levels. A concentration of larger stones beneath the crest of the mound and a number of iron nails etc were the only items of evidence suggestive of a structure. Other details: 101,134.
