Details Remains of a cairn. Crawford, having perambulated Lendrick Bank Wood and found nothing, suggests that the earthen tumulus surrounded by a circular ditch, located by the NSA to the old firwood of Lendrick, is where there is a circular mound on the moorland on high ground northeast of Lindertis. No ditch, however is visible around it. Locally, it is believed to have been a court or law hill, while St Joseph suggests that it may possibly be a Roman signal station, and therefore a clue to the Roman road. This feature is a spread, stony mound, circa 26.0m in diameter and 1.2m high. It is situated on the summit of slightly rising ground amid thick heather. The perimeter is vague, but the protruding stone suggest it is possibly a cairn. This mound is now ill-defined and extensively mutilated by former tree planting.
