Summary

Vis=15/4/1982 (os) a flint and earth mound, 6.5m diameter and 0.3m high, with a flat top but no surrounding ditch. A low baulk passes through the barrow and as the air photographs show, this is due to 19c ploughing. Probably a barrow rather than field clearance and part of the farway complex (os).
