A Bronze Age Barrow, known locally as the Roundhill, was excavated by Skinner in 1815, by means of a horizontal shaft driven into the centre at ground level. This revealed that a hole had previously been sunk into the centre to 4' below natural and the burials removed. Charcoal was found extending horizontally about 20 feet from the centre. A broken whetstone and human thighbone were also found. Cuttings were made at the N & S of this barrow in 1950 by the Camerton Excav Club, to determine if there had been a surrounding ditch, but with negative results. This is an exceptionally high barrow, max height 6.8m. Very sharp profile, no trace of excavations. (Bath and North East Somerset HER)
