An earthwork mound of uncertain date and function is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards and on images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012, to the southeast of Totnes. The earthwork is circular in shape, measures approximately 20m in diameter and is located on moderately northwest facing slope. It remains visible as a slight earthwork feature on images derived from LiDAR data captured between 1998-2012. The nature of this earthwork is largely unclear. It may represent the remains of a possible prehistoric barrow, but perhaps, more likely, represents quarry up-cast material, given the presence of similar such features located within the surrounding area. Further field investigation is recommended to help establish the nature of this earthwork feature.
