The topographic survey provided valuable new observations on the earthworks on and around the hill, as well as giving clear evidence on the patterns of soil movement in the areas affected by ground slippage. 6 heavy duty survey pegs were driven in to the hill top to allow monitoring of rates of ground movement. The survey has provided useful baseline data about the current topography of the site, and has added new insights into the nature of the mound and its surrounding depression.The topographic survey has not provided a decisive answer as to the purpose and function of the mound, but does seem to positively indicate that it is unlikely to be a barrow or a motte, both of which have been postulated.
