The potential site of a round mound, 25m across, is visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs (p1) and was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme. The site lies on a south facing slope, just off the brow of a ridge and is therefore potentially the site of a prehistoric round barrow. The site is overlain (or overlies) the field system described in CIN 166717, it was digitally plotted during the National Mapping Programme.
