A sub-circular mound, circa 12m diameter, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2016, within Woodburn Wood on the floodplain of the River Yealm. The earthwork does not correspond with any sub-circular features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. Its origin is largely unknown, although it may possibly represent a spoil heap from a post-medieval or 19th century extractive pit. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery.
