Imported from Torbay HER
Lawrence, A.J., 1985, Possible Archaeological Sites near Brixham, Devon, Site number 3 (Un-published). SDV362028.
A possible barrow site is located on an east-facing spur about 1.1km west of Sharkham point, and c.250m south of South bay Holiday camp. A subsequent search for depressions surrounding this area was not successful. The field, at the time of recording, in 1985, was used for grazing and silage and had not been ploughed in the previous fifteen to twenty years.
