An oval mound, circa 30m long by 25m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork does not correspond with any mound features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe map, or on later available historic maps. Its form and morphology support the interpretation that it represents a Bronze Age barrow, although a natural origin is also possible. The earthwork is not visible on other available aerial imagery owing to dense tree cover in this location.
