Notes
HER: One of a pair of closely spaced grass-covered cairns around 60 metres south of Brisworthy China Clay Works. The mound is visible as a cropmark on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2007 onwards and as a subtle earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.References
