A prehistoric burial mound within Oak Copse is visible as an earthwork mound with outer ditch on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. The sub-circular mound measures approximately 25m in diameter and is enclosed by a ditch approximately 7m in width. The barrow is situated on the gentle southeast facing slopes of a hillside, in proximity to Row Barrow (MDV1524) to the west and a second barrow (MDV11498) further to the southwest. The barrow is obscured by tree cover of Oak Copse and so was not visible on aerial photographs or other digital images made available to the survey.
