A mound is visible on aerial photographs of 1971 as a roughly circular earthwork approximately 11m in diameter on the gentle north-west facing slopes north west of Langage Cross.
The mound is interpreted as the possible remains of a barrow of Bronze Age date. No evidence of an encircling ditch was identified as a cropmark or earthwork but might survive as a buried feature
