An earthwork mound, most likely relating to a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible on visualised lidar data (S4). As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2017) it is likely that the feature still survives as a low earthwork. Two small hollows are also visible on the visualised lidar data in the centre of the mound.
