According to local information, this is the mound which was recorded in the 1940s (ITA) in which was 'a built up tomb' from which the top slab was accidentally displaced revealing bones. It was also recorded in the 1940s (ITA) that the field in which this mound is located was called the Chapel Field though there is now no local knowledge of any of any chapel here.
