400 metres from the last pair of 'barrow's (MDV10475 and MDV10477) is another pair, marked by pine trees. These have no central mounds but consist of encircling banks with external ditches, their centres being planted with Scots pine trees. These resemble prehistoric disc or saucer barrows found
in Dorset and Wiltshire but are thought to be more of the late 18th-19th century landscaping works carried out by Lord Rolle on the Bicton estate.
