Full description

Exeter Archaeology, 2003, East Devon Heathlands Archaeological Survey, 12-13, Part 1; 92, Part 2: Gazetteer, Site No. 337 (Report - Survey). SDV101648.

Mound visible in rough pasture towards top of southeast hillslope. Mound 10.5 metres diameter by 0.4 metres high with dished centre, some chert stones apparent. Topographic location and form suggests possible barrow. However, there are banks and apparent clearance cairns in the vicinity of probable post-medieval origin (see site 338).
