Full description
Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.
Not shown on any of the large scale OS County Series surveyed 1861-5, 1904 or 1933, and contained on the Torbay Council HBSMR GIS layers. In 1952 an OS field worker identified a grass covered stony mound.[1]. Visited by L V Grinsell on 29 May 1982 who recorded it having a diameter of 9m and a height of 0.7m. It has no ditch or berm and surmounts a small hillock; two similar mounds were identified and measured at this time (qv SX85NE/19 & 84). [2]
The bowl barrow was not visible on the June 1999 NRSC Aerial Surveys as the grassy slopes had been ploughed; however a circular area almost equivalent to Grinsell's location can just be inferred. [3] A site visit by Torbay Council's Archaeology Officer Hal Bishop and EH MPP Inspector John Salvatore on 7 November 2002 confirmed the location of the barrow/natural mound. The visit was part of the MPP scheduling proposals, however no case for scheduling will be put forward, the interpretation that the featrure is natural. (4)
