Halfway between the visitor centre and the chambered cairn are the remains of a Bronze Age site, sometimes called the Liddle Burnt Mound. An excavation in 1975 revealed the remains of a building, and beside it, a high mound of compacted stone and peat ash.
This 'burnt mound' was the result of many years accumulated residue from peat fires used to heat the building. The building itself was originally thought to be a house. Within the foundation walls are a hearth, beds, water reservoir and channels for running water.
