This whole area is covered in prehistoric sites and Brankam Hill has its quota of sites, barrows, hut circles, kerb cairns and something I haven't come across before a double Four Poster.
Sitting on the east side of the hill the two small circles, similar to Strone, are only 3m apart. The north setting is just over 1.5m square and the south setting, 1m square.
Not the the most impressive site, but certainly one of the most fascinating.
Plans being made to go back and have a good look at the hill with a guide from the area.

Heading west from the Welton Cairn I headed straight down the hill, fairly steep, looking back if I'd headed slightly north then west it would have much easier. In the saddle of between the Brankam and Welton Hills there is an impressive hut circle.
The site is almost 19m wide and has walls almost 2m wide with the front door located in the south east arc Much remains of the inner wall, however the outer wall has been severely robbed probably to construct later enclosures.
