A possible mound is visible on digital images derived from Lidar data as a low circular earthwork on the lower north-east facing combe slopes to the east of Berry Camp. The visible earthwork mound measures approximately 15 metres in diameter but has probably been spread by agricultural improvement. The date and function of the mound are unknown, but it might be the remains of a small round barrow or clearance cairn of later prehistoric date.
