(23/05/2002) SX 5758 6386. A turf covered mound on the edge of the scarp above the right bank of a tributary of the Blacka Brook. It consists of several very large earthfast blocks 5.5m in overall diameter and 0.6m high. An amorphous hollow lies roughly in the centre of this mound.
This appears to be a natural feature. There is no evidence to suggest the presence of cleared ground around this feature other than it lying in a small area as yet uncolonised by bracken.
