Anomaly group 10 coincides with, and is likely to reflect, an extant barrow (National Heritage List for England entry 1019778, Devon and Dartmoor Historical EnvironmentRecord entry MDV63931). It is one of three Late Neolithic to Bronze Age bowl barrows on a south-south-east to north-north-west alignment which form part of a wider round barrow cemetery which contained at least 12 barrows in all. This barrow is thought to be Late Neolithic to Late Bronze Age.
