The mound was partially excavated in 1913 by the Duke of Rutland and his gamekeeper Mr Peat. They revealed a gritstone cist containing cremation remains, pottery fragments, a broken bronze knife, and a flint scraper. A little to the North are Bronze Age fields and enclosures, demarcated by low earthworks.
