Barrow

Situated on a prominent rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views toward Lionabin. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1980 as a low profile, roughly D-shaped mound (dims. 20m N-S) enclosed by a fosse and an outer bank and which sits in a saucer like depression. The wide shallow fosse is visible from NNE-E-S-W. The outer bank is low and the exterior ground level slopes gently away from it. The E side of the monument has been disturbed.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age; its location on a prominent rise suggests ritual or funerary significance typical of burial monuments from this period.
