NM 1682 5603 Totronald There are two burial mounds close to the standing stones NM15NE 15. The larger of the two might be a barrow measuring c15m in diameter and about 1m in height. It is on the valley floor c250m NE from the standing stones. The smaller mound is a grassed-over cairn at the base of the terrace on which the standing stones are located, roughly halfway between the stones and the barrow.
