A roughly circular mound with external ditch was visible.

An earthwork mound or ringwork almost 10 metres in diameter was visible on digital images derived from lidar data on a slight plateau on the east-facing slopes south of Ridge Court, Stockland parish. A possible outer ditch up to 3 metres wide can also be identified from the lidar imagery. The feature could not be identified as an earthwork on any other imagery available to the survey, but a slight dark cropmark corresponding with the ditch was noted on vertical aerial photographs of 1947. The earthworks have been tentatively interpreted as evidence of a possible round barrow of Bronze Age date, with a similar if larger monument 70 metres to the north. Further investigations such as geophysical survey are recommended to further characterise these sites.
