A roughly circular mound, approximately 12 to 15 metres across, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. It is located on the south facing slope above a combe and could be the remains of a prehistoric burial mound. However there are extensive earthworks along the river valleys to the south that are interpreted as tin workings, and it is possible that this mound is connected with these.
