Notes

HER: Prehistoric cairn? Probable prehistoric barrow lying in an area of tin workings just south of a track between Middleworth and Deancombe. It consists of a smooth low mound c.12m diameter with a small depression in the centre of it. Probing by J. Turner indicates that it may be of earth / turf construction.
