Full description

A curvilinear, plough-levelled mound is visible as earthworks on vertical aerial photographs (1), immediately to the south-east of another barrow. A dark cropmark in the centre of the mound may be a pit, possibly relating to excavations carried out by antiquarians. This feature is considered likely to be a barrow and is probably one of the linear group of fifteen barrows, only three of which now survive. Analysis of lidar data by the North Cornwall RCZAS suggests that the potential barrow survives as a 0.2m high mound (2).
