A possible barrow of Bronze Age date was visible as a pale cropmark and possible very low earthwork mound on aerial photographs of 1947s, on a narrow saddle of land on a west-facing spur roughly equidistant between Starved Oak Cross and Great Oak Cross, Upton Pyne. The cropmark can be interpreted as evidence of a levelled mound approximately 30 metres in diameter. The cropmark does not correspond with any earthwork mound visible on images derived from lidar data, supporting the interpretation that the mound has been levelled.
