A mound circa 38 by 26m in size is visible as a subtle earthwork on aerial photographs of 1947, to the west of North Kenwood, Kenn. The earthwork is interpreted as the possible remains of a funerary monument of later prehistoric date. The mound is obscured by dense plantation cover on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016 and the earthwork may have been damaged by previous forestry works.
