Map

20 February 1989.
Seen by J. Wymer (NAU) on small housing development site on northeast corner of junction of B1155 and road to Burnham Deepdale.
In centre, not threatened by building work, a small mound 14 metres diameter and 1 metre high.
Irregular edge but circular.
No ditch visible.
Five mature trees around perimeter.
Unlikely to be a landscape feature and considered most probably a small barrow.
At time of visit, covered with nodules of flint imported for facings.
Situated just south of ditched brook, north of which is the large barrow site NHER 1746 with a pill box built into it.
J. Wymer (NAU) 24 July 1989.

1991.
Housing development almost complete. Site of mound almost flat, only recognisable by position of trees.
H. Paterson, (A&E) 3 April 1991.
