Bronze Age Round Barrow - scheduled monument.
Clearly visible at the top of Reed Hill. Shown on some maps as a cairn but was excavated in 1911/12
"It was surveyed and excavated in 1911. The mound itself was composed of closely packed pebbles and covered in a turf layer. The primary burial was a chamber built of gritstone in the form of a beehive. Sunk into the mud floor was a mass of cremated human bones. A secondary stone cist was found but there were no human remains inside."
