A possible Round Barrow of probable Bronze Age date was visible on aerial photographs as a cropmark of a ring ditch, overlooking the Exe Valley east of Burrow Farm, Rewe. The cropmark is on average less than one metre wide and encloses a circular area approximately 14 metres in diameter. The ring ditch is not complete in plan, with breaks in the cropmark visible on the north-east and south-east edges. However, it is probable that the variations in cropmark clarity are due to geological and agricultural factors, and do not reflect the condition of the buried remains which might be complete.
This ring ditch is part of a possible group of five or six visible in this area, and was originally recorded with a smaller cropmark circa 14 metres to the east, not recorded separately (MDV113276).
