Pastscape says "The remains of a round barrow on Godrevy headland, A small Mesolithic flint chipping floor was found beneath the barrow. The finds which included a perforated mace-head, cores, microliths and scrapers, are in the collection of Prof. C.Thomas. An A3 type penannular bronze brooch of the 1st to 3rd centuries AD was found during the trial excavations in 1950".
