Tumulus, Beaquoy Farm, On the bank of a small stream
immediately behind the farm outbuildings at the farm of Beaquoy
and only a few paces from the roadway there has been a fairly
large mound composed mainly of small angular burnt stones. The
construction has in parts been removed and a poultry run has been
erected on part of the SW segment. No very regular outline can be
determined but originally the mound probably had a diameter of at
least 45ft and was 4ft 6in high. [R1]
