A roughly circular earthwork mound, approximately 15 metres across, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. It corresponds to a dark area visible on aerial photographs taken in 2010, although it is not clear whether this is a difference in vegetation or a genuine earthwork. Given the proximity to a probable barrow to the east (MDV11604) it is possible that this is the remains of another Bronze Age burial mound.
