This was a hillock or Tumulus about 30 years ago as stated by the authorities (personal) quoted. When levelling it at that time several rude stone coffins and urns were found, containing human bones. Several persons now in the locality saw both the urns and the stone coffins. The site is marked by a hollow place in the wood.
