A possible Bronze Age round barrow (centred at TF 73880 0763 ) is visible as a low earthwork mound on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2018 (S1). The cropmarks of a possible surrounding ring ditch are visible on aerial photographs form 2006 (S2). The possibility that the features could be natural rather than archaeological in origin, cannot be ruled out. The location of the mound recorded form the field visit (see above) is uncertain. The location of the current moment point is centred at TF 7386 0760. Although there is a small mound (approximately 9m in diameter) visible on the visualised lidar data here, the mound centred at TF 73880 0763 (38m to the northwest of the current monument point) fits more closely with description of the site record from the field survey and is most likely the correct position of the earthwork mound.
