LiDAR confirms presence of a barrow, suggested on geophysical survey

Beaverstock, K, 2021, Land at Coldharbour Farm, Ashreigney, Torridge, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV364583.

To the northwest of Coldharbour Farm, a circular positive linear anomaly with a central circular discrete anomaly [10] is recorded. These correspond to a slight earthwork mound seen above ground, suggesting that these may represent the ditch and central feature of a round barrow. This feature measured circa 21 metres in diameter although its northern extent could not be determined due to the field boundary and road to the north.
