(Jan 1978) SX 57706881. Prehistoric cairn? Probable prehistoric barrow lying in an area of tin workings just south of a track between Middleworth and Deancombe. It consists of a smooth low mound c.12m diameter with a small depression in the centre of it. Probing by J. Turner indicates that it may be of earth / turf construction. Vegetation to be cleared.

(23/05/1979) Within the afforested area are a number of pits and mounds, some of which appear to have been excavated. They average 6.0m. in diameter and 1.2m. high, and are constructed mainly of soil. They are probably connected with mining activity that was once prevalent in the area.
Not surveyed at 1:10 000.
