When I read Mr Hamhead's fieldnotes I realised that I had been walking past the original Minions Mound on every visit to Minions. The stone wall constructed round the mound may be protecting it for future antiquarians, however it also disguises the antiquity of the site.
I decided to visit the Minions Mound currently marked on the OS as it was a flat walk for c. 300 yards. The round barrow stands out of the moorland, a horseshoe-shaped bank up to 1 yard high on the S Arc and c. 20 yards in diameter. The centre of the mound has been stone robbed down to ground level from the NW.
Historic England 1010256 has further information on the tumulus.
