Full description

A subcircular cropmark, 10m across, possibly a plough-levelled mound, is visible as earthworks on vertical aerial photographs (1), 75m to the north-east of barrow (MCO33164). 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 barrows survives as a faintly visible low earthwork mound, <0.2m high (2).
