A circular earthwork mound, circa 15m in diameter, is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on a level plateau to the northeast of Broadway Farm, Denbury and Torbryan. The character and topographic setting of the earthwork supports the interpretation that it represents a possible Bronze Age barrow, although a natural origin cannot also be discounted. An additional, but more diffuse, earthwork mound to the immediate northwest was of less certain origin and was not transcribed during this survey, but has nevertheless been included within this general monument polygon.
