A cropmark which may relate to the possible mound described above is visible as a lighter patch on aerial photographs (S2) and has been recorded as part of NHER 57469. It should also be noted that the post medieval windmill mound NHER 9028, which was also previously thought to be a burial mound, was clearly visible on these photographs and has also been mapped.
