Summary

A possible mound, perhaps a Bronze Age round barrow, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a lidar survey flown in 2015. The mound is rather flat. A circular bank is visible surrounding it. It is depicted as a circular plantation on 19th century Ordnance Survey maps and both the bank and the possible internal mound could be of post-medieval date.
