(09/04/1979) SX 573637: Possible barrow (reference unknown-1977).
In an exceedingly boggy area around the head of Blacka Brook a number of mounds of varying sizes are visible. They average 5.0m. in diameter and 1.0m. high and are entirely composed of peat. They are almost certainly the remains of peat stacks, adjacent to and in old tyes.
