A mound, circa 17 metres in diameter, is visible as a pale soilmark and cropmark on the hill north of Ettiford Farm on aerial photographs between 1992 and 1993. It is likely to be a ploughed out Bronze Age burial mound, one of a group of four in this location. It is not visible on earlier aerial photographs, and it is possible that an episode of deeper ploughing had brought the fabric of the mound to the surface. Remains are however likely to survive below ground.
