The remains of a round cairn of Bronze Age date stand on the edge of a scarp with fine views of the south and east. The cairn, built of earth and stones, is 16m wide. During the 19th century several Bronze Age objects were found in this area, including fragments of two shields and an axe. http://www.keystothepast.info/article/10339/Site-Details?PRN=N10301 The cultivation terraces on the south-facing slope are probably of medieval date.
