In 1975 there were two Chambered Cairns discovered on the east side of Buttern Hill. The uphill/west one is the best preserved and the stones of the chamber ,although not very big, are still in position. The other cairn is in poor condition and lies obout 500 metres to the east.
They are best seen in the winter/ spring as they are covered with bracken during the rest of the year. I had to clear it to get the photos. There is quite a good field system that lies between here and the Buttern Hill Circle, and the newtake which is to the west of the cairns stands on the original walls of part of it. If you go looking for the cairns they are situated near to the east side of this newtake whick is very visible as it stands alone on the east side of Buttern Hill.
Looking into the chamber from the north. The two stones standing are across the entrance.

The Round Pound as it is called is situated on the right hand side of the road that leads to Batworthy corner. There is a passage way that leads away from it which runs parallel with the road. On the left side of the road there is a large field system. The Round Pound was excavated in 1951/52 by Lady Fox and her team.
