Details	A large natural hillock, grass-covered and prominent. On top of hillock is a small depression, but it is doubtful that it has any connection with the finding by the farmer in 1850 whilst cultivating the land, of a stone coffin with human remains. Excavation of the mound in 1906 concluded that it was natural.
