'Tumulus' (Ordnance Survey) confused on new 1:50,00 map, and in J.F. Williams's notes, with the ice house mound.
In fact stands to west of this.
'Probably modern'.

I agree with this, there is nothing to distinguish it from the rows of mounds formed from the earth dug out of the East View (see NHER 3542).

However map of about 1720 at Hall, (S1), shows this as Mill Hill pasture, but no mound marked.

This may in fact be a barrow as it is more circular than the other mounds, 35m diameter, 1.60m high.

1990.
Park given over to grazing for deer herd. Mound in good condition under grass cover.

(S2) interprets the mound as a spoil heap from the creation of the cutting to the east of the Hall that was abandoned in 1745. Several other mounds were created with the soil from the cutting, including the icehouse mound and three that have been planted with trees.
See (S2) for more details.
