A mound is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a roughly circular subtle earthwork approximately 8m in diameter, on Ideford Common, Ideford. The mound may be the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date, part of a wider barrow cemetery recorded across Ideford Common (MDV79238).
The mound remains visible as a gorse covered earthwork on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2015, the vegetation possibly exaggerating the size of the earthwork. No trace of an outer ditch is identifiable.
