A possible prehistoric barrow is visible as an earthwork mound on aerial photographs of 1947, on Black Down Common, Culmstock. The circular earthwork measures approximately 20m in diameter and is situated along the edge of moderate to steep west facing slope. The possible barrow is not clearly visible as an upstanding earthwork on aerial photographs after 1947 or recent digital images made available to the survey, although it is clearly visible as vegetation mark. The earthwork is located in close proximity to barrow MDV1882, approximately 270m to the northeast, as well as vegetation marks of two other possible barrows to the immediate east. A site visit is recommended to help establish the extent of survival of this possible barrow.
