Full Description
Small group of five mounds and two small quarried depressions 150 metres southeast of the sheepwash. Three small round mounds between 3 metres and 6 metres diameter, a crescent shaped mound 6 metres by 5 metres and 1.2 metres high and a linear mound 9 metres by 5 metres and 0.7 metres high. Quarried depressions are small and shallow, less than 3 metres in every dimension. The quarries are too small to account for all the mounds and so may not be connected.
