A mound is visible as an earthwork on Walls Hill, on images derived from Lidar data. It might be the remains of a clearance cairns associated with the surrounding, potentially prehistoric field system on Walls Hill. Nine further possible cairns have been recorded in this area, seven of which might be identifiable on the available Lidar images. However, the Lidar images have been processed and must be treated with caution. Field investigation is recommended.
