Full description
Hunting Surveys Limited, 1982, HSL/UK/82/45 (Aerial Photograph). SDV359526.
A small oval cropmark of a levelled mound was visible.
Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2016-2018, The Blackdown Hills AONB and East Devon River Catchments National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV359463.
A small oval mound was visible on aerial photographs of the 1940s as an earthwork up to circa 9 metres across, surrounded by or set within a possible ditch or hollow 2 to 4 metres wide, on the south-facing slopes to the south of Burrow Farm, Clayhidon parish. The earthworks are interpreted as the remains of a small round barrow of Bronze Age date, probably inserted between the sites of two much larger barrows.
All earthworks appear to have been levelled on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2014, but a slight cropmark of the outer ditch was visible indicating that sub-surface remains are likely to survive.
