From Pastscape:
"A prehistoric cairn occupying the highest point of the ridge within Welshbury hillfort (SO 61 NE 7) It is visible as a small sub-circular spread rubble mound, circa 11m in diameter and 0.3m high. A sub-square platform to the east of the cairn may be associated with it, perhaps indicating that it was originally much more substantial. Scheduled."
