Several irregularly shaped mounds roughly 8 to 12m across are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs of 1946, to the east of Station Cottages, Wrangaton.
Their irregular plan might support an interpretation as dumps of spoil of 19th to early-20th century date but the origin of the mounds is unknown.
The mounds are not clearly identifiable on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016, and have probably been levelled, but slight earthworks may survive.
