What is recorded here
Marked on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a Trigonometrical Station (OD 935 feet) and described in 1955 as a high, circular mound (H 2.5m; diam. 15.5m) with a small depression in the upper surface (SMR database). While it may well have been erected as a Trigonometrical Station, there is the possibility that a pre-existing hilltop mound may have been adapted to that purpose.
