Situated on a gently undulating landscape. A magnetic gradiometer survey (16R0116) of an extensive area (dims c. 600m ENE-WSW; c. 300m NNW-SSE) identified 15 potential archaeological features (Roseveare and Roseveare 2016), 11 of which were archaeologically tested (16E0548). Of these all but two proved to be either natural or of recent origin. An area of high bipolar electro-magnetic signal indicative of severe burning was archaeologically tested at its fringes and the presence of burnt mound material was confirmed. An exclusion zone (dims 35m N-S; 30m E-W) will preserve the monument in situ in the new development. (O’Carroll 2016, 8-9, 13)
