Summary
A possible prehistoric barrow observed at ground level in 1980 is visible as an earthwork mound on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013, but appears insubstantial on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1951, so interpretation is therefore not certain.

The possible prehistoric barrow observed at ground level in 1980 is visible as an earthwork mound, 32 by 12 metres in size, on visualisations of lidar data captured in 2013. It is not clearly visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1951, where it appears as a pale elongated oval cropmark and possible earthwork that casts only a very slight shadow in comparison to the surrounding hedgebanks and does not appear to be a significant earthwork at this time. Interpretation is therefore not certain.
