Notes
"A revetted mound adjoins the south side of one of the granite outcrops at High Willhays. Measuring 19 metres east to west by 18 metres overall it stands around 0.8 metres high. The sides of the mound are formed by coursed granite slabs and boulders and the top is largely flat though a hollow has formed in the southern half."References
