Barrow 'C'. Third of three possible saucer barrows. Site visit 13th December 1961. A crescentic fragment of bank, up to 0.3 metres high which is probably the remains of a circular bank similar to the others. These features are on a high heathland and are heavily overgrown with gorse. This makes their identification difficult but their form is suggestive of saucer barrows. The absence of analagous sites in this region makes such an assessment tentative.
