Summary : A bowl barrow known as Wimble Toot. The barrow mound measures around 3 metres in diameter and 2.8 metres high. The surrounding ditch has become partly infilled over time but is still visible on the east side of the mound. A hollow in the centre of the barrow suggests past excavation.
More information : [ST 5605 2800] Wimble Toot [T1] Tumulus [GT] (1) Situated at the point of a ridge on the E. bank of the tiny brook which turns into the Cary River. The condition of the earthwork [described as a Motte] is not good, the E. side retains a slight ditch; slight denudation reveals a dark loam. Dimensions 50' diam., 9' high. (2) Scheduled as a round barrow (3). (2-4) The Wimble Toot is a flat topped tree covered mound with traces of a ditch to the N.W. and a well defined ditch to the S.E. It could be either a small motte or a large barrow, though from its appearance the latter seems more likely. Surveyed at 1:2500. (5) ST 56042800. Bronze Age bowl barrow known as Wimble Toot.
