Full description
Griffiths, D. M., 1983, Untitled Source (Site Visit). SDV298621.
Knighton Heath. Raised mound less than 1m high and approx 20-24m in diameter. Vegetation on top different from surrounding areas. Although possibly a prehistoric barrow, this area was the scene of some activity in WWII (see PRN 21239) so may be related to that. Just to NW (at approx SX83787695) is another amorphous mound.
