Hegarty, C., Knight, S. and Sims, R., 2019-2020, The South Devon Coast to Dartmoor Aerial Investigation and Mapping Survey. Area 2, Avon Valley to Plymouth (AI&M, formerly NMP) (Interpretation). SDV362982.

An oval mound, circa 23m long by 21m wide and situated on a plateau, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The earthwork does not correspond with any oval features shown in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. The morphology and topographical setting of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it is a possible Bronze Age barrow. Some degree of caution should, however, be exercised as it is also possible the earthwork is of natural origin.
