Magnetic susceptibility survey by Oxford Archaeotechnics revealed 4 rather faint 5-6 metre diameter ring ditches set close about two barrows. Topographic survey by Exeter Archaeology suggests the presence of low, plough-damaged mounds overlying 3 of the ring ditches. This is best demonstrated directly to the north of the north barrow, where an area of raised ground corresponds with the 2 circular features detected by gradiometer survey. A similar though less pronounced area of high ground is illustrated by an extension to the south-east side of the south barrow. This again appears to overlie a small ring ditch demonstrated by the Oxford Archaeotechnics survey.
