Earthwork pits and a bank are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1969 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on a hilltop on Denbury Down, Denbury and Torbryan. The earthworks comprise a semi-circular shaped bank, circa 6m in width, with internal sub-circular shaped pit, circa 9m in width. Irregularly shaped pit features are also located either side of the bank. They are interpreted as the remains of a heavily disturbed Bronze Age barrow located in proximity to barrows MDV8604 and MDV8605 to the east, within Denbury hillfort MDV8603.
