Site of a cairn, called the 'King's Palace' by Mr Carnegie (19th century tenant at Battledykes), which was removed in circa 1833. There is confusion in the records about the tumulii within Battledykes, according to the antiquary Jervise, six 'clay urns' were allegedly discovered during the removal of over 600 cartloads of stones from the cairn. However Mr Carnegie was confident that Jervise was in error, and that the urns came from another tumulus nearby (see NO45NE0015). Jamieson (Nichols 1780-90) describes the base of a tumulus, somewhat square in form, and called the 'King's House', as being a little way within the second gate of the Roman camp towards the east (see also NO45NE0022). The OS noted in 1977 that the site of this alleged cairn falls in regularly cultivated land and there is now no trace of it to be seen.
