It is probably an outlier of the known barrow group situated 350m to the south, on the King's Ridge between the Great and Little Ponds. The severely eroded mound only became visible following heather cutting in 2002.

ABSTRACT The radiocarbon-dated palaeoecological study of Lago Riane (Ligurian Apennines, NW Italy... more ABSTRACT The radiocarbon-dated palaeoecological study of Lago Riane (Ligurian Apennines, NW Italy) presented here forms part of a wider investigation into the relationships between Holocene vegetation succession, climate change and human activities in the northern Apennines. The record of vegetation history from Lago Riane indicates that, since the end of the last glaciation, climate change and prehistoric human activities, combined with several local factors, have strongly influenced the pattern and timing of natural vegetation succession. The pollen record indicates an important change in vegetation cover at Lago Riane at ~8500–8200 cal. years b.p., coincident with a well-known period of rapid climate change. At ~6100 cal. years b.p., Fagus woodland colonised Lago Riane during a period of climate change and expansion of Late Neolithic human activities in the upland zone of Liguria. A marked decline in Abies woodland, and the expansion of Fagus woodland, at ~4700 cal. years b.p., coincided with further archaeological evidence for pastoralism in the mountains of Liguria during the Copper Age. At ~3900–3600 cal. years b.p. (Early to Middle Bronze Age transition), a temporary expansion of woodland at Lago Riane has been provisionally attributed to a decline in human pressure on the environment during a period of short-term climate change.

A preliminary pollen diagram is characterised by a scarce presence of trees, and the concentration diagram confirms this record. Possibly, the most interesting evidence is the pollen trend of Abies and the constant presence of Castanea; chestnut shows two peaks (~20% and ~50% of TLP), in both cases in connection with peat layers. Among the herbs, excluding hygrophytes and ferns, Poaceae, Plantago and Asteraceae are the most represented. Absolute dating are lacking, at present, nevertheless the diagram can be compared with that from the nearby site named Moggia di Casanova (Cruise, 1990): the trend of Abies can be likened with the most recent phase (not much older than 2000 years BP). Possibly, the uppermost peak of Castanea (66 cm) can be correlated with that found at 25-30 cm in the small "plateau North" of Pian delle Groppere
