Bronze Age burial mound.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 marks the site of a burial mound at the grid reference given, together with the annotation 'Tumulus (Site of)'. The OS marker is placed 10m NW of the position of a standing stone (this would appear to be the site described in PRN 0149, but see description for apparent inconsistency between its present location and the OS).


Geophysical survey undertaken in 1995 and 1996 by Bournemouth University did not convincingly show an anomaly which might have indicated remains of the mound at this location, despite revealing extensive evidence of other sub-surface features on the hill which were subsequently tested by excavation, and shown to consist of an enclosure surrounded by four roughly concentric ditches.
