Two cooking mounds lie adjacent to a peat-clogged stream on the NW side of Graig Fawr. They remain as described by RCAHMW in 1963 and as located by OS in 1982.

On the NW a crescentic mound open to the stream on the NE. It measures 1m (NW-SE) by 8.2m, maximum height 0.8m. The central hollow is 3m across.

Adjacent on the SE a crescentic mound open on the E. It measures 6.7m long (N-S) by 4m wide and 0.3m high. Less well defined than its neighbour.
