The remains of a possible prehistoric tomb, or cromlech, can be found at grid reference SW40492948. It consists of a circular earth bank lined with big stones, but its identification is uncertain. A slab of rock, 50 metres (160 ft) north of this, set on edge and apparently artificially erected, could be the support of a dolmen, or the retaining circle of a barrow.
