About 2 km e.-n.-e. of this site, in one of the terraces of the sandstone hillock was a low round barrow 6 m in diameter in the midst of the Iron Age Megalithic passage chamber tombs [4.17.9]. Excavation of the barrow revealed it to be a usual Chalcolithic burial containing fractional burial of a person in extended way, the skull fragments being towards e.-s.-e. and provided with burial furniture: four pottery vessels of MASKI fabric, two crescents, a parallel-sided blade and a plain copper bangle with unforged ends. The cairn packing, peculiar feature, sealing the pit was about 60 cm thick at the centre.
