A low, roughly oval mound circa 22 by 19 metres in size is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as an earthwork on the south-facing slopes to the south of Black Forest Farm, Starcross. A shallow hollow visible on the north-east side of the mound may be evidence of the source of the mound material. The mound is located at the junction of two narrow linear cropmarks, possibly evidence of a former field system. This might support the interpretation of the mound as evidence of a round barrow of Bronze Age date. Alternatively, the earthwork may be evidence of modern landscaping for the construction of a power pylon in this location.
