Summary

An oval mound, perhaps a Neolithic or Bronze Age oval or round barrow, is visible as an earthwork on imagery from a 2015 lidar survey. It could be part of what appears to be a large, dispersed, Bronze Age round barrow cemetery (NHER 62464). It lies, however, in an area of what appears on the lidar to be uneven, ‘lumpy’ ground, and, like another nearby mound (NHER 62477), it could instead be of natural, perhaps periglacial, origin.
