This mound is clearly visible on a recent lidar survey (S3). The centre of the mound is located approximately 30m to the east of its currently mapped location. The mapped extent has been amended based on the lidar data.
The mound is located approximately 180m to the north of a much larger mound (NHER 18567) and a second large mound further southwest (NHER 18571), both of which have been interpreted as saltern mounds. The proximity of this earthwork may indicate that it relates to similar activity. Two futher mounds of similar size and character to this one have also been identified to the west (NHER 18566 and NHER 19043).
