Mound 'b4' in western enclosure, dainton. Excavated 1939. Circa 5.5m diameter, and 0.3m high. The mound was composed of loose stones, and there seemed to be a circle of large limestone lumps around the edge of the mound, interpreted, tentatively as a ruined wall base. Finds of pottery, animal bones etc, and a number of slingstones.(willis + rogers). Very unlikely to be the remains of a hut circle. More probably a clearance cairn.(silvester). Visible on numerous visits 1977-1982. Unaffected by proposed quarry extension for which planning permission was granted in 1982.(timms).

A geophysical evaluation programme was carried out on land adjacent to the existing Stoneycombe Quarry within the south-western corner of Milton Mator Common. This demonstrated a clear correlation between extant and previously recorded earthwork features.
