Two barrows.

NMR CITING SAINSBURY, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV54559.

Two probable barrows:-barrow a - sx89759837. Visible as a slight rise about 0.4m high and prominently situated in a barley field about 25m od. Located on the summit of a n-s ridge with excellent all round visibility. Barrow b - sx89759834. Situated in the same field but lower down the slope to the s though still with all round visibility. It is only just discernible as a slight rise in waist high barley. The sitting of the mounds is not particularly low-lying as stated by allden, and both are above the flood plain (not surveyed, covered by crop) (nmr citing sainsbury).
