The area at SX569605 was covered by dense stands of mature gorse and bracken in 2002. All that could be identified in the limited open areas on the north-west facing hillslope of Crownhill Down were scattered upcast mounds and slight scoops. One at SX56946057 was almost certainly a prospecting pit. However a comprehensive identification of the features was not possible until the area is cleared of the dense vegetation
