An earthwork mound of a possible prehistoric barrow is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, on the upper reaches of Hackpen Hill. The sub-oval shaped earthwork measures approximately 10m in length by 8m in width and lies in association with two other possible barrows to the northeast (MDV115864) and southwest (MDV115862). The possible barrow was not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey. It cannot be discounted that the earthwork is of industrial origin, such as a possible slag heap, several of which have been recorded within the wider area. Further investigation, such as a site visit may help to shed light on the natures of these earthworks.
