A roughly circular mound is visible on aerial photographs of 1951 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 as an earthwork approximately 32m in diameter.
The mound is interpreted as a possible round barrow of Bronze Age date. No evidence of an enclosing ditch was visible on the sources available to the survey.
A second similar, but possibly more damaged mound is visible circa 200m to the south-south-east.
