A possible prehistoric barrow, circa 20 metres in diameter, is visible as a circular mound with probable surrounding ditch on images derived from Lidar data. The possible earthwork is 60 metres from Scheduled barrow MDV3629, in the approximate location of three features depicted on the 1803 OS surveyor's draft which have been tentatively identified as barrows (MDV12889). A further irregular earthwork circa 10 metres to the south-west may be associated.
