A roughly circular mound approximately 23 metres in diameter is visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data on the north-west facing slopes east of Monkton Barton, Monkton Parish. The mound is obscured from view on aerial photographs by the dense tree cover of Hedgend Plantation. It is tentatively interpreted as a possible barrow of Bronze Age date.
