Evaluation by D Graham of the westernmost of the mounds on the common, which J Corcoran examined in 1959 and decided were natural mounds of windblown sand. A rectangular pit was located at the centre of the mound and an unusually deep ditch was found to circle the mound, there is therefore little doubt that the mound is artificial. Samples of the mound’s core were taken for palaeo-environmental assessment. (298; see report in SyAC 91, 151-166)
