A mound is visible on images derived from Lidar data as an earthwork near the summit of a north-east facing spur to the north-east of Friar’s Park Barn, Beer. The mound might be the remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date. The earthwork is very subtle but its visible extent measures approximately 36 metres in diameter, although this could include a degree of displacement by modern ploughing activity. Further investigation by geophysical survey is recommended.
