Mounds, which are recorded as burial cairns on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps although there is no record of cists or artefacts being found. Late 19th and early 20th century sources noted that the cairns appeared to be arranged in parallel rows, and probably formed part of a prehistoric field-system. In 1902, six cairns were excavated. Each cairn was found to be wholly composed of stones, with no evidence of any burial remains. The only finds were small quantities of charcoal in two of the cairns. The site was visited by the Ordnance Survey in 1967, who reported that they could only identify four cairns, visible as low mounds, three of which were in line. On the eastern side of each mound there was a depression, which suggests they may have been re-used as grouse butts.
