The Poind and his Man

The burial mound, described as a round cairn, is situated on a small knoll. It dates from the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age. Its diameter is 14 metres (46 ft), and it is 1.9 metres (6 ft 3 in) high.^[1]

A standing stone, height 2 metres (6 ft 7 in), is next to the mound; it was formerly one of two such stones ("the poind and his man").^[1] The standing stone in the grounds of Wallington Hall is thought to have been moved from here in the early 18th century.^[1][2]

The mound was partly excavated in the 18th century by John Warburton. He found a cist near the top of the centre of the mound.^[1]
