An almost circular mound is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (p1). It has a diameter of roughly 15m. The size and location of this feature, and its proximity to known barrow sites, suggests that this is the remains of a small, ploughed-out barrow. It has been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
