RCAHMS NMRS No. HY31SW 6
Recently I found the mapped remains of this accessible and so took the chance to investigate (at the time only the remains of St. Mary's were shown on Canmap). This mound isn't so prominent - more than a rise but less than a tump. There are two levels to it. The stones are on the smaller higher piece on the left. Mostly all that is left is the one course.
