Vis=20/2/1996 (ea) 30m e of track (on w edge of the kiln brake) is an obvious raised mound of stones measuring 15m n/s by 10m e/w and c.1.0m high. Many stones altered by heat, some with traces of vitrification or slag-like appearance. Many pieces of limestone and also some red breccia and sandstone. It is possible that the evidence of burning is connected with the kiln site implied by the 'kiln brake' name. Another area of partially burnt limestone was noted below the roots of a tree growing closer to the track w of the main heap (ea).
