Summary

One, possibly two, low mounds are visible as earthworks on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey. They could be one or more Bronze Age round barrows, part of what appears to be a large, dispersed cemetery (NHER 62464). The earthworks, however, are very low and poorly defined, so their interpretation is uncertain; they could instead be of natural origin. They are likely to still survive as earthworks.

One, possibly two, low mounds are visible as earthworks on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey (S1).

The earthworks, however, are very low and poorly defined, so their interpretation is uncertain; they could instead be of natural origin. They are likely to still survive as earthworks. The area of the earthworks has been mapped only by extent.
