Well an on the ground inspection reveals the records seem to be wrong. Rather than a quarried single mound, we think its much more likely to be a ring cairn with a trashed central mound. The spoil from that mound filling some of the space between the bank and whats left of the mound, thus making it seem like a quarried mound. Whats reported as a trench, looks more like an entrance (and is due west from the centre). There also seem to be some possible stones from an inner kerb / embanked circle.

Its currently in a massive burnt patch so is clearer than its been in years I imagine. I recommend anyone nearby gets up to have a look at what could be a third ring cairn on Eyam moor whilst the vegetation is so low.
