A sub-circular shaped mound, circa 19m in length by 17m in width, is visible as an earthwork on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on the crest of a ridge, to the west of Coppa Dolla Farm, Broadhempston. The origin of the earthwork is largely unclear, although its form and topographical setting offer support to the interpretation that it represents a prehistoric barrow, although a modern origin cannot also be discounted.
