| Name: | Earthwork mound west of Stowford Farm, Harford |

Summary
Earthworks of an oval mound with outer ditch are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The origin of the earthworks is largely unknown but may represent the remains of a Bronze Age barrow.

Earthworks of an oval mound, circa 15m long by 11m wide, which is partly enclosed by a ditch, up to 3.5m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks do not correspond with any features in this location on the mid-19th century Parish Tithe Map, or on later available historic maps. Whilst the origin of the earthworks is largely unknown, their morphology adds some support to the interpretation that they are the remains of a Bronze Age barrow.
