Several bowl barrows are to be found up on this high (relatively) plateau top, along with a disc barrow and a saucer barrow. Most of the bowl barrows are these days fairly insignificant, and not much more is to be seen other than a slight bump under a clump of gorse. However, the disc barrow is very clearly to be seen, largely because it is under a little plantation of trees (known as Robin Hood's Clump), nicely situated right on the western edge of the plateau, with splendid views in almost all directions.
The barrows are Scheduled Monuments and more information can be found in this extract from English Heritage's record of scheduled monuments.
