An earthwork mound of uncertain date and function, but very tentatively interpreted as a much denudated prehistoric barrow is visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, within Rowbarrow Plantation. The slight earthwork is sub-circular in shape and measures approximately 11m in diameter, on fairly level land on a spur. The earthwork is situated in close proximity to three barrows, located to the northeast (MDV1524 & MDV50853) and to the west (MDV11498), so conceivable forms part of an associated feature. The earthwork is also, however, located within a cluster of probable Roman to early medieval ironstone mines, so could represent up-cast material from these workings. The earthwork was not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey and is now completely obscured by tree cover.
