Notes
From a barrow 'destroyed many years since' came a large flint scraper and flint flakes PLYM Brent 1886. See. TDA 1886 Vol 18 p.74. Butler suggests that perhaps Brent's cairn was either 52.16.5 or 52.16.6."Crown Hill Down.—Amongst the rubbish and stones that had been removed and thrown down from a large circular barrow, that had been destroyed many years since, I found a large rude scraper of flint, and some broken pieces, all much weathered from exposure"
